Jonathan Anderson has one of the most visionary minds in fashion today. Founder of an eponymous label and Creative Director of LOEWE, the Northern Ireland-raised designer came to the industry via theater: ‘I’ve always been fascinated by character building,’ he says in this episode. ‘If I hadn’t gone to drama school, I don’t think I would be able to produce the collections I do today.’ Beyond his beginnings, Anderson speaks to Marc Spiegler about his love of ceramics, the timelessness of a Renaissance masterpiece, and the importance of artistic production today. ‘To me,’ he says, ‘the artist is the most exciting person in the social ecosystem, because they should be allowed the freedom to tackle the things we can’t.’
LOEWE currently has applications open for the 2023 edition of the LOEWE Foundation Craft Prize. The winner will be announced in spring 2023, followed by an exhibition of the work in summer. The LOEWE Women’s SS23 show will take place in Paris on September 30, 2022.
