A sense of playful curiosity animated the Fall Winter 2026–2027 presentation from Loewe, where designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez continued to define their evolving vision for the house. The runway space was populated with monumental sculptural animals by Cosima von Bonin—a floppy-eared dog, a cheerful dolphin, and wide-eyed clams—setting an atmosphere of surreal humor that framed the collection’s experimental tone.

If their debut season hinted at a colorful reorientation of the brand, this collection pushed the idea further by combining craft heritage with technological experimentation. Slip dresses produced through 3-D printing and cast in latex introduced a strikingly tactile surface language. Lace trims, delicate pointelle dots, and central bows appeared stamped in bas relief, creating garments that looked simultaneously soft and sculptural. The effect was intensified in zip-front hooded coats molded from latex, their buoyant forms moving down the runway with a fluid, almost liquid bounce.

Water imagery extended across the collection. Parkas constructed to resemble inflatable rafts added a playful sense of volume and buoyancy, while tailored wool coats were occasionally paired with exaggerated accessories that resembled inflated scarves or floatation devices wrapped around the body. These gestures created a visual dialogue between the grounded tradition of tailoring and the whimsical language of inflatable forms, suggesting clothing that hovers between practicality and conceptual play.

Alongside these synthetic explorations, the designers revisited familiar materials with renewed emphasis on texture. Bell-shaped jackets first introduced last season returned in shaved and dyed brushed shearling, expanding the sculptural quality of the silhouette. Wide-wale corduroy appeared reinterpreted in shearling as well, transforming a utilitarian textile into something unexpectedly plush and tactile.

Eveningwear continued the exploration of volume and surface. Shaggy, fringed halter dresses hung loosely around the body, allowing models to slip their arms inside the draped structures as if seeking warmth within the garment itself. Other pieces were constructed from long loops of beads forming delicate floral patterns reminiscent of daywear shirts. These beaded dresses incorporated pockets positioned below the chest—small but deliberate details suggesting a playful practicality.

The show also marked a milestone for McCollough and Hernandez with the introduction of menswear, their first exploration of the category. The transition across genders felt largely seamless, with the designers adapting their experimental language into looser silhouettes and outerwear-driven looks. A standout was an ultramarine parka rendered in what appeared to be simple cotton, its clarity of color and construction offering a moment of calm amid the collection’s more exuberant ideas.

Across the runway, the duo demonstrated a willingness to test boundaries while maintaining a recognizable visual coherence. Their approach balanced the house’s tradition of craft with a spirit of invention that extended into new materials and silhouettes. The collection conveyed a palpable enthusiasm for experimentation, revealing designers still discovering the full range of possibilities within Loewe’s identity. While some ideas leaned toward conceptual spectacle, the underlying craft and structural clarity ensured that the playfulness never drifted too far from wearability.
