"Before our first meeting, I had prepared an exit strategy in case things didn't click with Jack and Lazaro. 'Unfortunately, there's water damage in my house and I need to leave immediately.' Within a few minutes of meeting them, it became clear that water damage would not be required. I fell in love with both of them almost instantly."
"What is fashion but an open field for endless creative play? Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez posed this question in their show notes, demonstrating their collaborative philosophy with von Bonin. Their confident show struck a balance of whimsical and cool, with certain looks channeling the animal kingdom and feats of construction like inflatable parkas and scarves."
Loewe designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez partnered with Cologne-based artist Cosima von Bonin for a Paris Fashion Week show at Chateau de Vincennes. Von Bonin's plush animal sculptures were scattered throughout the venue on white benches, creating an animalistic wonderland backdrop for a high-gloss yellow runway. The collection balanced whimsical and cool aesthetics, featuring animal-inspired looks including swans, penguins, and bears, alongside innovative construction techniques like inflatable parkas and scarves. Von Bonin's zoomorphic vision extended throughout the collection as minaudières, charms, jewelry, and accessories. Initially hesitant about the collaboration, von Bonin quickly connected with the designers and embraced their philosophy of fashion as creative play.
