LOEWE × Lynda Benglis: A Groundbreaking Jewelry Collection That Blurs the Line Between Art and Fashion
May 10, 2024
In a stunning collaboration that has set the fashion world abuzz, luxury fashion house LOEWE has partnered with visionary American artist Lynda Benglis to create a jewelry collection that is nothing short of extraordinary. First unveiled at the LOEWE Spring/Summer 2024 show in London, and later making its dazzling debut on the Spring Summer 2024 women's runway in Paris, this exclusive collection features twenty unique designs that pay homage to Benglis' iconic style and her unparalleled contributions to contemporary art.
Benglis, a trailblazer who has been at the forefront of post-war American sculpture for over six decades, worked hand in hand with LOEWE's creative team to translate her original maquettes into wearable works of art. The result is a collection that pushes the boundaries of what jewelry can be, with each piece embodying Benglis' signature style and her fearless approach to materiality. From the sensual curves of the "Sparkle Twist" bracelet to the bold, geometric lines of the "Pleated Cuff," every design is a testament to Benglis' enduring legacy and her commitment to challenging the status quo.
Crafted from a diverse array of materials, including 18ct gold, sterling silver, aluminum, enamel, and crystal, the LOEWE × Lynda Benglis collection is a masterclass in artisanal craftsmanship. The "Knotted Wave" earrings, for example, are a stunning example of Benglis' iconic knotted forms, reimagined in gleaming gold and silver. Meanwhile, the "Poured Pendant" necklace, with its organic, fluid shape, seems to defy gravity, as if captured mid-motion.
What sets this collection apart is its ability to transcend the boundaries between art and fashion. Worn on bodies in constant motion, these pieces come to life, becoming an extension of the wearer's own unique expression and style. It's a testament to Benglis' enduring impact on the art world and her desire to create sculpture that is always transforming and responsive to the ever-changing world around it.
For those eager to get their hands on these wearable masterpieces, the wait is almost over. The LOEWE × Lynda Benglis jewelry collection will be available in LOEWE stores and on loewe.com starting today, May 9, with an exclusive US launch at the iconic Bergdorf Goodman in New York. The department store will feature a dedicated pop-up space in its Luxury Room and a captivating display in its Fifth Avenue windows, offering customers an immersive experience into the world of LOEWE × Lynda Benglis.
At the launch of this groundbreaking collaboration, one thing is clear: the LOEWE × Lynda Benglis jewelry collection is more than just a fashion statement – it's a celebration of art, innovation, and the enduring power of creative collaboration.
