PARIS — Golden feathers cascading down models' concealed faces opened Loewe's spring show at Paris Fashion Week to evoke the myths. It set the stage for a more subdued collection this season from Northern Irish designer Jonathan Anderson—but one which continued to blend fantasy, whimsical artistry with high fashion. Here are some highlights of Saturday's spring 2025 menswear shows: Feathers and suits at Loewe Moments of poetry abounded, as usual.
A stiff sleeveless pearl vest and another resembling armor, almost sculptural in its presence, shimmered like iridescent fish. Anderson's talent for what he calls creating ''collaged realness'' was once again on display for spring, merging art content with high-end fashion. Generous draping and ruching on pants and foulards showcased fine fashion design with curves swirling elegantly, all conceived with a light, minimalist touch.
This was Anderson at his best, creating exaggerated, sculptural silhouettes that are now a hallmark of his Loewe tenure. The deceptive lightness and fluidity of the cottons, wools and leathers marked his ongoing exploration of materiality. The tailored suit and pants — a mainstay of an office job — were touchstones, starkly contrasting the moments of whimsy.
Even here, styles were treated with Anderson's signature off-kilter eye and in loose, generous proportions. Elongated belts were in double vision, while patent Oxford shoes would have been ready for Wall Street, were it not for the fairytale-like.
