Jonathan Anderson Bids Farewell to Loewe After Eleven Transformative Years

Jonathan Anderson is stepping away from Loewe, leaving behind more than a legacy—he leaves an artistic revolution. Over the past eleven years, he has reshaped the Spanish House, blending craftsmanship, surrealism, and conceptual daring into a singular vision of modern luxury.

When Anderson arrived at Loewe in 2013, the brand was searching for a new identity. He didn’t just redefine it; he reimagined it entirely. With a fearless approach to design, he infused traditional craftsmanship with avant-garde innovation, turning the house into a crucible of creativity. Under his direction, Loewe became a hub for radical silhouettes, surrealist aesthetics, and bold artistic collaborations, setting the standard for contemporary luxury.

His tenure gave birth to some of the most iconic fashion pieces of the past decade. The Puzzle bag, an architectural masterpiece of folds and geometry, celebrates its tenth anniversary this year. Other creations—pixelated coats that distort perception, balloon heels that defy gravity, and leather dresses sculpted like modern armor—pushed the boundaries of traditional wardrobes, turning everyday items into art.

Reflecting on his departure, Anderson shared, "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."

But Anderson’s impact extends far beyond the clothes themselves. He cultivated a way of thinking about fashion—one that blurred the line between art, culture, and individuality. Under his leadership, Loewe was not just a luxury brand; it was a laboratory of experimentation, where the ordinary became extraordinary and tradition was constantly redefined.

Beyond design, Anderson played a crucial role in expanding Loewe’s cultural influence. He spearheaded the launch of the LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize, a global initiative dedicated to preserving and elevating endangered crafts. His commitment to craftsmanship ensured that the brand remained deeply rooted in heritage while pushing the boundaries of the future.

Now, as Anderson steps away, the fashion world is abuzz with speculation about his next move. But one thing is certain: his influence at Loewe will endure. The language he created—the interplay between function and fantasy, precision and chaos—will echo in every stitch and silhouette for years to come. An era has ended, but the vision he crafted remains woven into the very fabric of the House.
