The LOEWE Fall/Winter 2021 collection was just unveiled and invites genderfluidity through the unique shapes. There are collage themes as the fashion label's Creative Director Jonathan Anderson draws in the artwork by Joe Brainard for the season as well.
Many subcultures can be seen detailing the pieces, referencing hippie looks, rave patterning, and punk culture as well. This can be seen on items such as the punk bondage pants that are met with the loose fitted cardigans as a nod to hippie culture. Designs such as these ones challenge traditional masculine shapes as it offers unique textiles and cuts. Brainard's artwork can be seen decorating the signature LOEWE bags and the jacquard woven garment sets.
