Jonathan Anderson Officially Exits LOEWE
After 11 years at the helm.
At last, the official announcement is here. Jonathan Anderson is leaving LOEWE after an incredible 11 years as its creative director. Though the industry has suspected this news for quite some time (furthered by the last three posts on Anderson’s Instagram,) the news still shocks us all the same.
For those who discovered LOEWE through Anderson, it’s brand ambassadors like Taylor Russell, Greta Lee and Ayo Edebiri who defined his tenure, plus his surrealist approach to fashion — both through LOEWE’s visuals and physical collections. Along with launching viral products like the logo tank top, inflatable balloon pumps and the Studio Ghibli collaboration, Anderson oversaw the LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize, an initiative that supported “vanishing crafts” across the world.
Speaking of his departure, Anderson says “While reflecting on the last 11 years, I have been lucky enough to be surrounded by people with the imagination, the skills, the tenacity and the resourcefulness to find a way to say yes’ to all my wildly ambitious ideas. While my chapter draws to a close, LOEWE’s story will continue for many years to come, and I will look on with pride, watching it continue to grow, the amazing Spanish brand I once called home.”
Of course, rumors continue to infiltrate industry conversations, with many insiders suspecting that Anderson will soon take over at Dior.
