The collection reimagines familiar forms through experimental techniques, balancing humor, innovation, and the house’s signature craftsmanship
The LOEWE Fall Winter 2026 collection builds on the house’s long tradition of innovative craft and leatherwork, pushing the boundaries of silhouette, form, and materiality. Across womenswear, menswear, and accessories, familiar codes are reworked with a sense of play, unexpectedness, and wit.
Under creative directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, the collection leans into experimentation as a core idea—where making is not just process, but expression.

Latex, illusion, and reworked classics
Slip dresses and pyjama tops accented with lace and bows are reconceived as moulds, replicated through 3D printing and cast in latex with a glossy, viscous finish. Coats are similarly reimagined, with individual components—from sleeves to pockets to fastenings—meticulously moulded to create trompe l’oeil effects.
Some pieces appear almost liquid in construction, while others take on more exaggerated, sculptural forms, challenging how garments traditionally move and sit on the body.
Inflatable volumes and tactile surfaces
Volume becomes literal through parkas and scarves designed as inflatable forms. Using a specialised process of laser-cutting and bonding, each piece is sealed to create airtight seams, giving garments a sense of lightness and structure at once.
Elsewhere, texture drives the collection forward. Bouclé coats are crafted from looped lacquered leather, while tartan sweaters and dresses are knitted from ultra-thin leather yarn. Pastel-dyed shearling coats and corduroy trousers are finished with gradient trims, drawing subtle parallels to poodle grooming techniques.
Sportswear elements ground the collection, seen in rubber-moulded sneakers and Dive slingbacks. A bright, optimistic colour palette ties everything together, reinforcing the collection’s focus on tactility and visual impact.\
Cosima von Bonin’s world enters LOEWE
The work of Cosima von Bonin serves as a key reference point throughout the collection. Her use of found fabrics, including florals and ginghams, appears in linings or is hand-painted onto glossy latex garments. A recreation of the Amazona 180 in porcelain extends this dialogue into objects.
Her sculptural animals—sea creatures and canines—are translated into minaudières, jewellery, charms, and accessories. The same playful spirit appears in ready-to-wear, including moulded hoods and triple-layered hats designed to be worn stacked atop one another.

For the Fall Winter 2026 show, von Bonin’s upholstered animal sculptures occupy the space as both spectators and installations. Positioned on oversized shoeboxes, they act as companionable onlookers while also becoming part of the spectacle itself.
Rather than focusing solely on the end result, the work highlights the value of making—where humour and innovation coexist, and where creativity remains open-ended.
