Since its inception, the house of Loewe has been a mainstay in the world of luxury fashion. Even in modern times marked by machinery and mass production, the Spanish brand is firmly rooted in artisanal craftsmanship as well as art, which is a fixture in its flagship stores and is central to its desirable hand-stitched handbags, accessories and ready-to-wear clothing. One of the oldest high-end luxury brands in the world, Loewe was acquired by LVMH in 1996.
In 1876, German artisan Enrique Roessberg Loewe joined forces with a group of skilled leather craftsmen in a workshop in Madrid, which had been established 30 years earlier. Loewe, highly gifted with leather himself, unified the collective that now bears his name — which is pronounced: “low-eh-veh.”
Timeless and elegant, vintage Loewe leather shoulder bags, totes, jackets and shoes are always in high demand — and contemporary Loewe fashion is no less revered. In 2013, the brand brought on Irish designer Jonathan Anderson as the new creative director (the role had previously been filled by the likes of Narciso Rodriguez and Jose Enrique Ona Selfa).
Anderson, who had worked for Prada and founded his eponymous label JW Anderson in 2008, introduced his first handbag design for Loewe in 2015 — the famed, foldable Puzzle Bag, described by Anderson as “a flat object with a tridimensional function,” a deconstruction of conventional handbags.
Aside from the impeccable construction and undeniably stylish appeal of its wares — from its colorful but refined shirts and day dresses that merge streetwear and modern luxury to its versatile, meticulously crafted bags — what draws prominent Loewe-lovers such as Harry Styles, Hailey Bieber and others to the brand is its commitment to pushing the boundaries of ready-to-wear as well as its support of arts, crafts and culture across the globe.
Paintings and pottery enrich the shopping experience at the company’s flagship stores in locales such as London and Los Angeles, and in 2016, Anderson launched the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize, an international award that highlights and celebrates artisans across a range of disciplines.

Showstopping Thierry Mugler FW 1998 Runway Evening Gown
By Thierry Mugler
Located in Berlin, BE
This iconic Showstopper by Thierry Mugler is a Silk Velvet Dream! She arrives not as a woman, but as an apparition: poured into liquid Bordeaux velvet so saturated it seems to drink the light around it. This Fall Winter 1998 Runway gown is the kind of fashion fantasy that only Mugler could conjure: ruthless in silhouette and devastating in effect. The body is sculpted with beautiful precision, carved into a predatory hourglass that elongates the torso before melting into a languid, floor-skimming hem. The neckline is pure Mugler seduction. Those soft curved silk straps frame the décolletage with a tension that feels both austere and erotic, while the open back slices dramatically downward, exposing the spine with cinematic restraint. From every angle, the dress performs. The saturated red velvet - dense, dark, and blood-red, like the interior of an old opera house or the last frame of a Hitchcock heroine disappearing into shadow. Mugler understood that velvet could be dangerous. In his hands, it became less a fabric than an atmosphere: sensual, vampiric, untouchable. It recalls the women who dominated Mugler’s late-’90s runways: icy, untamed creatures with the glamour of film noir sirens and the authority of goddesses. The silhouette is so impossibly elegant. On the Runway, it possessed that rare Mugler alchemy & red carpet immortality. This is a weaponized vision of femininity, the kind only Thierry Mugler...
