Loewe — the Madrid-based luxury fashion house founded in 1846 and recognized as the second-oldest luxury brand in the world — has commemorated its 180th anniversary with a campaign film and photographic series shot by Talia Chetrit. This celebratory marketing initiative features a distinguished ensemble of artists and friends of the house, including Julia Garner, Salma Abu Deif, Giselle, Kara Wai, Sissy Spacek, and Kara Walker.
Loewe's 180th anniversary campaign film and photographic series also highlight key pieces from the anniversary capsule collection. The selected garments effortlessly present the label's commitment to artisan craft and pay homage to Loewe's origins as a small leather workshop in Spain. The generational transfer of expert leather knowledge, which continues to inform the creation of signature bags and accessories, is naturally emphasized.
