Loewe Spring/Summer 2027 – Spanish Heritage Meets American Ease
Paris Fashion Week | Spring/Summer 2027
There is something rather fascinating happening at Loewe.
The house is approaching its 180th anniversary, yet it is simultaneously entering one of its newest creative chapters.
For Spring/Summer 2027, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez presented their third collection since taking over the creative direction of the Spanish luxury house – and their vision is beginning to feel increasingly defined.
Spanish craftsmanship.
American sportswear.
Colour.
Leather.
Sculptural proportions.
And a distinctly playful approach to dressing.
Presented in Paris on 2 October 2026, the collection continued to explore the tension between the history of Loewe and the designers' own instinct for modern, relaxed clothing.
For Off The Cuff, however, it is the way those ideas translate into cut, proportion and construction that makes this collection particularly interesting.
180 Years of Loewe
2026 is a significant year for Loewe.
The house celebrates 180 years since its founding in Madrid in 1846, beginning life as a collective of leather artisans before developing into one of the world's most recognisable luxury houses.
That heritage is impossible to ignore.
But McCollough and Hernandez don't appear particularly interested in simply preserving it.
Instead, they are asking what happens when almost two centuries of Spanish craftsmanship meet a distinctly American way of dressing.
The answer is becoming increasingly clear.
Luxury doesn't have to feel formal.
The McCollough & Hernandez Loewe
The designers' background at Proenza Schouler is important here.
Their fashion vocabulary was developed around New York – modern women, American sportswear, practicality, proportion and a certain downtown attitude.
At Loewe, those instincts meet a house with an extraordinary history of leather craftsmanship and Spanish culture.
The Spring/Summer 2027 collection demonstrates how those two worlds can coexist.
A beautifully constructed leather jacket can be relaxed.
A sculptural skirt can be playful.
A simple shirt can become luxurious through colour and proportion.
And tailoring can feel contemporary without becoming overly formal.
The Château de Vincennes
For the Spring/Summer 2027 show, Loewe moved to the Château de Vincennes, using a dramatic circular structure inspired by theatres, stadiums and arenas.
The setting created the feeling of a live spectacle rather than a conventional runway.
It was an appropriate choice.
Because the collection itself is theatrical.
Not necessarily because every garment is extravagant, but because proportion and movement constantly change the way the clothes are perceived.
A tiny dress.
An enormous skirt.
A dramatically draped jacket.
A simple pair of trousers.
Everything plays with scale.
The Power of Proportion
Proportion may be the most important word when discussing Loewe Spring/Summer 2027.
The collection repeatedly exaggerates familiar garments.
Mini becomes micro.
A jacket becomes sculptural.
A waistline becomes exaggerated.
A skirt expands dramatically.
Trousers fall in a more relaxed, straight shape.
The effect is playful without becoming costume.
And this is something bespoke tailoring understands particularly well.
Change the proportion and you change the entire garment.
A two-centimetre adjustment to a lapel.
A slightly longer jacket.
A fuller trouser.
A higher waist.
Suddenly the same suit has an entirely different personality.
Sculptural Skirts
The show opened with some of its most exaggerated shapes.
Architecturally draped mini skirts created dramatic volumes around the body, recalling some of the sculptural experimentation that has long been associated with Loewe.
The shapes were almost three-dimensional objects.
Yet they remained wearable.
That is a difficult balance.
The garment needs enough structure to create the silhouette, but enough flexibility for the wearer to actually move.
The Art of Draping
Draping remains an important part of the McCollough and Hernandez vocabulary.
Rather than relying solely on traditional pattern cutting, fabric is allowed to create shape around the body.
Jackets twist.
Skirts gather.
Dresses fold.
Layers move.
The result is clothing that appears slightly different from every angle.
That is particularly effective when combined with Loewe's extraordinary leather expertise.
Leather – The Loewe Signature
It would be almost impossible for a Loewe collection to ignore leather.
After all, the house's history begins with it.
For Spring/Summer 2027, leather appears in a softer and more relaxed form.
Draped leather jackets create movement.
High-waisted leather skirts introduce structure.
Leather is manipulated so that it doesn't necessarily look traditionally leather-like.
The material becomes softer.
More fluid.
More wearable.
And that is where Loewe's craftsmanship becomes particularly impressive.
The challenge isn't simply working with leather.
It's making leather behave differently.
The Leather Jacket Gets Draped
One of the strongest ideas in the collection is the draped leather jacket.
Instead of a traditional biker or sharply constructed leather jacket, the material is allowed to fall and gather.
It creates a silhouette that is simultaneously protective and soft.
Again, contradiction is the key.
Hard material.
Soft shape.
Luxury craftsmanship.
Relaxed attitude.
Colour Returns
If leather provides the foundation, colour provides the energy.
Loewe's palette moves through intense primary colours and highly saturated tones.
Yellow.
Orange.
Red.
Blue.
Green.
Alongside them sit khaki, neutral tones and softer shades.
The colours are often used in bold blocks, creating an almost graphic quality.
This is one of the clearest signatures of the new Loewe.
Colour isn't simply decoration.
It becomes part of the silhouette.
Florals – Again, But Differently
Flowers are one of the collection's most noticeable motifs.
But rather than appearing exclusively as large-scale prints, they emerge through embroidery and smaller repeated patterns.
Floral details appear across mini dresses and shorts, while more restrained floral references are incorporated into shirts and tailored pieces.
It gives the collection a sense of craftsmanship.
The flower isn't simply printed onto the garment.
It becomes part of the making.
The New Loewe Shirt
One of the most interesting things about the collection is how ordinary wardrobe staples are elevated.
Shirts.
Straight trousers.
Knitwear.
Simple jackets.
These pieces provide a quieter foundation for the more experimental garments.
This is an important part of making runway fashion relevant.
Not every garment needs to be extraordinary.
Sometimes the simplest piece becomes the most useful because it gives everything else somewhere to go.
Relaxed Tailoring
For Off The Cuff, this is where the collection becomes especially interesting.
McCollough and Hernandez continue to move Loewe away from excessively rigid tailoring.
The silhouette is relaxed.
Trousers are straight and easy.
Jackets are more fluid.
The overall attitude feels less corporate and more lived-in.
But that doesn't mean the garments lack structure.
Instead, the structure is carefully controlled.
It simply doesn't announce itself.
American Sportswear Meets Spanish Craft
Perhaps the collection's biggest success is the way it combines these two influences.
American sportswear brings:
Ease.
Utility.
Relaxation.
Everyday wearability.
Loewe brings:
Craft.
Leather.
Luxury.
Spanish heritage.
Put them together and you get something rather compelling.
A wardrobe that looks luxurious without appearing overly precious.
Transparency and Layering
Summer naturally encourages lighter clothing, and Loewe explores that through transparency and layering.
Sheer skirts appear beneath jackets.
Mesh introduces texture.
Lightweight knitwear creates another layer.
The result is less about revealing the body and more about creating depth.
One garment interacts with another.
A transparent layer changes the colour beneath it.
A jacket alters the proportions of a skirt.
Again, clothing becomes a system rather than a collection of isolated pieces.
The Trouser
Among all the experimentation, the trouser remains refreshingly straightforward.
Straight.
Relaxed.
Often worn lower on the waist.
Sometimes revealing a flash of patterned underwear.
It creates an effortless silhouette and provides a counterbalance to the more exaggerated upper pieces.
For bespoke tailoring, this is worth noting.
A fuller, relaxed trouser doesn't automatically make an outfit look casual.
When the rise, leg line and hem are properly balanced, it can look incredibly sophisticated.
What Can Bespoke Tailoring Take From Loewe SS27?
1. Proportion Is a Powerful Tool
You don't need a completely new garment to create a new look.
Change the proportions.
2. Relaxed Doesn't Mean Sloppy
A relaxed jacket still needs to be beautifully balanced.
3. Leather Can Be Soft
Modern leather construction can create drape and movement rather than simply rigid outerwear.
4. Colour Can Be Sophisticated
A bold colour becomes considerably more elegant when the cut is restrained.
5. Mix the Formal With the Everyday
A tailored jacket with denim.
A waistcoat with a relaxed trouser.
A formal coat with knitwear.
The most useful wardrobes aren't necessarily the most conventional.
6. Let Craft Be Visible
Embroidery, handwork, leather manipulation and texture can make a relatively simple garment extraordinary.
The Off The Cuff Take
Three collections into their Loewe story, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez are beginning to establish something that feels distinctly their own.
They aren't trying to recreate Jonathan Anderson's Loewe.
Nor are they ignoring the house's history.
Instead, they're building a bridge.
One side is Madrid, leather, craftsmanship and 180 years of history.
The other is New York, American sportswear, ease and contemporary proportion.
Spring/Summer 2027 sits somewhere in the middle.
And for Off The Cuff, that's what makes it so interesting.
The collection reminds us that luxury doesn't necessarily have to mean formality.
A garment can be beautifully made and still feel relaxed.
It can be technically complex and look completely effortless.
And perhaps most importantly, it can respect heritage without becoming trapped by it.
That's a lesson worth remembering in bespoke tailoring.
Because the best suit isn't necessarily the one that looks the most traditional.
It's the one that looks as though it belongs to the person wearing it.

Off The Cuff
Loewe has spent 180 years proving that craftsmanship can evolve.
Spring/Summer 2027 suggests that its newest chapter isn't about choosing between heritage and modernity.
It's about having both.
Leather and sportswear.
Spanish craft and American ease.
Sculpture and simplicity.
Tradition and experimentation.
And, thankfully, plenty of very good clothes.
A Little Off The Cuff…
Loewe has spent 180 years perfecting leather craftsmanship.
For Spring/Summer 2027, it has added sculptural skirts, micro silhouettes, vibrant colour and enough flowers to make a Spanish garden jealous.
At A Hand Tailored Suit, we're taking notes.
