Spanish label Loewe's Spring Summer 2024 collection is all about "reducing fashion to the silhouette". This concept is evident in creative director Jonathan Anderson's sly twist on wardrobe staples - see the pants with a waistline that extends up to the rib cage or the roomy sculpted Bermuda shorts held up with a larger-than-life pin. The same can be said of the pieces by the collection's key collaborator, Lynda Benglis - an art world giant known for her sculptures that appear to capture fluid substances in motion. The 82-year-old American artist is, of course, no stranger to Loewe. She previously appeared in the brand's Pre-fall 2022 campaign, while three of her fountains appeared on the runway at the Spring Summer 2024 menswear show. Her latest partnership with the brand takes things to a more intimate level: a 20-piece fine jewellery capsule comprising glittery rings, cuffs (see opposite), brooches, earrings, and pendants. Like shrunken versions of Benglis' abstract sculptures, every piece is a translation of one of her maquettes (read: test models for large sculptures) created in her Santa Fe studio.
