Loewe presented its Fall/Winter 2023 women's collection on March 3rd at the Château de Vincennes in Paris.
Continuing the reductionist practice from the FW23 men's collection, this time it was even more radical and bold. Confetti cubes by artist Lara Favaretto were scattered within a white cube set in a traditional building.
While the world is in an ever more extroverted mood, Loewe's women's FW23 runway offered an introverted stance, reflecting on the relationship between silhouette, texture, light and materials. Leather, duchess silk, satin, velvet, cashmere knit, feathers, crystals. Black, brown, camel, white, red. Bold pastels.
Through the concept of blurring, we suggest that fashion is not about the present, but about something beyond. Focusing your eyes on "something that is still vague now." The tension between what is in focus and what is out of focus creates a comfortable tempo.
SS23's pixelated pieces take on even more fuzzy contours. Dresses, trench coats and faux fur coats evolve from objects into impressions – like visions, or memories that come and go until they are imprinted. Cardigans, too, are transformed into stickers.
Towards the purity of the elements. From just one element, we pursue the simplest form. A silhouette created by a single detail or manipulation. A folded arm, volume created by a pin, the drape of a bag chain, a turn in the middle, a collapsing boot.
Proportions are thoroughly questioned. Fluidity, verticality, draping and curves, and sharply inserted compact shapes.
Introducing the squeeze bag. New in seductively supple leather with soft handles and donut chains. Oversized puzzle totes, Paseo bags, and nest-like woven leather baskets. Round-toe boots, chunky bow ties, and slender, shadowy pumps. A shift in focus. A collection of refinement.
About the artwork
Loewe has once again collaborated with artist Lara Favaretto (born 1973 in Treviso, Italy) to create her largest-ever installation, consisting of approximately 10 tonnes of colourful confetti and 21 cubes. Distributed throughout the space, the cubes are gradually eroded by the model's footsteps, creating a changing landscape. Exploring the space between architecture and ruin, Favaretto often uses volatile or fragile materials to create works that evoke the inevitability of collapse. Each cube is constructed by manually compressing confetti over the course of several hours, without the use of glue or framework. The cubes' colors and compositions are drawn from specific film stills, in this installation referencing Ari Aster's 2019 film Midsommar. The confetti will be collected at the end of the show and reused in future installations.
