New Loewe designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez debuted their first collection for the Spanish brand on Friday during Paris Fashion Week, and the duo kept the brand’s reputation for interesting footwear firmly intact. The collection was teased ahead of Paris Fashion Week with a campaign starring young actors.
Loewe footwear was known for being unconventional under former creative director Jonathan Anderson, and the new design duo delivered on that front. One distinctive look was a high-vamp clear kitten heel with socks underneath, making for a unique layered aesthetic. The see-through shoe could also be seen on the runway without the sock accompaniment. This structured silhouette showed up in different colors and made a statement with its dramatic lines. The look was boldest in a hot pink and black version, creating an attention-grabbing contrast.
