Grass-Growing Clothing Designs

The Loewe Spring/Summer 2023 Menswear Takes Cues from Nature

— July 6, 2022 — Art & Design
The stunning Loewe Spring/Summer 2023 menswear show, which had its moment on the runway during Paris Fashion Week, surely captured the attention of spectators—both those who saw it in person and those who witnessed it through media channels. The luxury fashion brand's creative director, Jonathan Anderson, sought to "create an amalgamation of nature and technology" and a so-called "fusion of the organic and the fabricated."

The main feature of Loewe Spring/Summer 2023 menswear was surely the bold juxtaposition of the natural and the man-made as individuals witnessed models wearing sodden garments that were sprouting grasses and plants. This daringly innovative nature-forward design was the result of a collaboration between Loewe and Paula Ulargui Escalona, a Spanish bio-designer by trade.
