As Jonathan Anderson’s tenure at LOEWE comes to its bittersweet conclusion, there’s an undeniable sense of loss in the air. For 10 years, he has shaped and reshaped the Spanish fashion house, turning it into something at once conceptual and deeply human, a place where art and craft speak as loudly as the clothes themselves.
While the reality of his departure is still settling in, there is some solace to be found in Crafted World: Jonathan Anderson’s LOEWE – a newly announced large-format monograph that distills his tenure into 636 pages of visual storytelling. A decade of tension and tenderness, of leather and linen, of recontextualised surrealism and a profound respect for the hand-made, captured between two covers. If Anderson’s LOEWE has ever felt like a dream, then this book is a tangible fragment to hold onto.
What is it about?
A sweeping retrospective of Anderson’s time at the house, Crafted World charts his journey from his debut Spring Summer 2015 womens collection through to the upcoming Spring Summer 2025 mens show. It’s a loose chronology, unfolding in immersive, full-bleed imagery – catwalk architecture, campaigns, store interiors, and the intimate, unguarded moments behind the scenes. There are interwoven dialogues with LOEWE collaborators and friends, a foreword by literary icon Zadie Smith, and an extended conversation between Anderson and stylist Benjamin Bruno. Much like the brand under Anderson’s direction, it’s less about rigid definitions and more about a feeling; of craft, of cultural dialogue, of beautiful things made with integrity.
True to LOEWE’s commitment to craftsmanship, the book itself is a covetable object. Encased in a custom-made box, its corners are adorned with an interlocking copper Anagram, reinforcing the idea that this isn’t just a publication, but an artifact of a specific and singular creative era.
