We hereby declare that Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, formerly the Proenza Schouler boys, are henceforth to be known as the Loewe boys. The New York superstars brought a sporty energy to their debut for the Spanish leather house in October. Moulded leather jackets in the shape of an hourglass were worn over gym knickers in a popping palette drawn from sportswear.
They set a bright, optimistic tone by hanging Ellsworth Kelly’s Yellow Panel with Red Curve (1989) at the entrance to the show space at the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris. “Vibrancy and tactility,” they said, are the two elements that are fundamental to the house. They leaned into both with towel-like mini dresses made from 3D printed fabric, scrunched-up knits achieved with metal thread and softly tufted leather jeans.
There were plenty of playful elements as the designers revelled in the experimentation afforded them at the house and they brought tradition and tech together. Preppy button-down shirts often worn in layers were actually made from leather, not cotton. Bra tops were made to look like jumpers tied casually around the neck, a ground-breaking silk Gore-Tex was used for coats and plush minidresses were made from 3D-printed fabric. As for the Amazona bag, it reflected the laid-back vibe and came one-handled, slouchy and worn zipped open. A huge cheer rang out when the designers took their bow. The Loewe boys done good.
