LOEWE
"LOEWE" 2014AW Sheer embroidered shirt
Since its founding in 1846, LOEWE has continued to redefine the contours of luxury by re-editing materials and handwork in a modern way while focusing on leather. Here, we introduce a masterpiece that highlights Jonathan Anderson's debut period with its artisanal embroidery use.
This masterpiece features a cotton base with delicate transparency, layered with embroidery that has depth across the entire front, leading to a look that combines lightness and weight.
At first glance, it appears to be a quiet black shirt, but the meticulously running code embroidery and satin embroidery along the body stand out as shadows when hit by light, leaving only a solid presence without bringing excessive assertion to the outfit.
Especially, the front decoration is a high-difficulty design that draws patterns on transparency, creating a three-dimensional effect without compromising the base's lightness. When peeked from under a jacket, it can change the atmosphere through texture rather than surface, which is its charm.
Additionally, the collar and cuffs are designed to ensure the neatness of a shirt, serving to outline the overall delicacy. This creates a balanced finish that makes it less likely for the styling's focus to shift whether leaning towards mode or elegance.
On the cuffs, organically shaped gold buttons are arranged, and their jewelry-like gloss not only makes the gestures at the hands look beautiful but also embodies Jonathan's early aesthetic of incorporating natural forms into design, making it a detail that can be experienced with the most minimal area.
The reason for the year being 2014 Autumn Winter is highly credible, as the tag's LOEWE logo has transitioned to the typography that was refreshed when Jonathan took office, and the domestic agency notation being LVJ Group indicates it is an authentic product from after 2014. Furthermore, the management code at the bottom of the quality label matches the protocol adopted in the mid-2010s, clearly linking it to the manufacturing lot around the debut season.
In terms of material design, it combines decorative materials including rayon and silk with a cotton base, creating both light transparency and the luster of embroidery simultaneously. It can be said to be a masterpiece that clearly proves LOEWE's position as a brand that excels not only in leather but also in textile crafts through wearing.
It is especially recommended for those who want to express individuality through the density of handwork rather than excessive decoration, or for those who want to enjoy the classic shirt at a higher resolution regardless of gender. When incorporated into everyday wardrobe, it is pleasing that it elevates the quality of the outfit solely through texture without choosing what to match.
Styling-wise, it looks beautiful when paired casually with neat slacks, highlighting the shadow of embroidery as the main feature, and as an inner piece for a minimal tailored jacket, revealing the three-dimensionality of the collar and front, naturally crossing the boundary between elegance and mode. Additionally, by combining it with a long coat or high-quality leather shoes, it becomes a masterpiece that seamlessly integrates LOEWE's craftsmanship into everyday life in a genderless manner.
Take this opportunity without hesitation.
