LOEWE’s SS24 Precollection with Dakota Fanning, Josh O’Connor & Maggie Smith: The Intersection of Art and Fashion
October 26, 2023
LOEWE unveils its Spring Summer 2024 precollection, blending the vivid individualism of various talents with the unmatched artistry of photographer Juergen Teller. The campaign mirrors an ongoing creative conversation between LOEWE's creative director, Jonathan Anderson, and Teller.
The Cast: A Mélange of Stars
The imagery is brought to life by an eclectic ensemble, bridging worlds of music, film, art, and fashion. Spotlighting talents like Greta Lee, Maggie Smith, Dakota Fanning, Mike Faist, Rachel Jones, Fei Fei Sun, and LOEWE Global Ambassadors TAEYONG and Josh O’Connor.
Setting and Presentation: Raw Reality Meets Luxury
The backdrop is rugged yet resonates with the everyday—be it a red brick wall, a worn-out room, or an empty pool. Amidst this setting, LOEWE's prized accessories, including versions of the Puzzle, the Squeeze, and the Paseo, are nonchalantly showcased.
Artistic Collaboration: A Tote to Remember
A standout piece is the Puzzle Fold tote, born from LOEWE's partnership with the Kyoto-based ceramic studio, Suna Fujita. The tote is a canvas for the imaginative realm of Shohei Fujita and Chisato Yamano, adorned with their fantastical creations.
Signature Styling: Embracing Flawed Beauty
The subjects, clad in reimagined classics from LOEWE's collection, are captured through Teller’s lens that celebrates the imperfect. This styling ethos adds a twist of realism, making the attire both relatable and aspirational.
Craftsmanship Redefined: LOEWE's Identity
The images, once crafted, undergo another transformation. They are ripped, placed on white backdrops, and photographed again, turning pictures into meta-pictures. This adds a sculptural dimension, reaffirming LOEWE's commitment to craft.
