Jonathan Anderson translates the artistic languages of Pontormo in his latest collection.

After presenting the collections of the Spanish Maison using alternative and state-of-the-art formats, Jonathan Anderson returned to Paris Fashion Week with his Spring/Summer 2022 collection. The Loewe collection was inspired by the artistic languages of Renaissance painter Pontormo as Anderson directs a study on the notions of drapery, sculpture, and color through twists, deviations, and distortions of the fabrics. The focus of the collection was on volumes and shapes. He analytically examined the space between the dress and the body, as if to upset the empty space that forms between the dress and the human being. Anderson evaluated absurd interpretations and reconverts the silhouettes almost as if he had to divide the collection into chapters.

Loewe's Spring/Summer 2022 collection included evanescent prints, sculptural draperies of fabrics, bodices of dresses plated in metal or resin, and rearranged slits with ruffles. Anderson's lexicon evolves into the "neurotic, psychedelic, completely hysterical." Capes recalled the ergonomics of a beetle's wings and shape a new type of woman who resembles a protagonist of an erotic manga. Everything is upset, repositioned, flipped, and rotated. Trench coats became dresses, and pants with puffy knees, holes, and fabric subtractions take the appearance of a slit. Denim becomes liquid and blends on jackets with hoods, while sequins adorn sweaters, dresses and miniskirts.
In addition to the Hammock Nugget bag and the Luna bag, the Goya clutch and the Flamenco clutch in suede or teddy bear version were reinterpreted with the drapery of the collection. Anderson also offered a glamorous version of d&eacute;collet&eacute; and sandals that transform the heel into inverted roses, colored soaps, birthday candles, eggs, and nail polishes. Not a simple stylistic exercise, but a real setting of different, experimental, and renewed archetypes.
