McCollough and Hernandez Debut at Loewe With Paris Show and New Amazona 180

The show fused Spanish craft with New York pragmatism to signal a new direction for the house.

Overview

  • The Spring/Summer 2026 runway in Paris marked their first outing as co-creative directors following Jonathan Anderson’s move to Dior.
  • Show notes pledged to carry forward 180 years of craft and a distinctly Spanish identity through the duo’s own lens.
  • The palette and bold forms drew from Ellsworth Kelly’s Yellow Panel with Red Curve, translating into primary colors, asymmetric cuts and playful stripes.
  • Loewe introduced the Amazona 180 handbag, a rectangular zip-around design distinguished by a single top handle.
  • Early reaction was strongly positive, with a standing ovation reported and buyer Julie Gilhart calling the show a “Perfect 10.”
