JONATHAN ANDERSON EXITS LOEWE AFTER 11 YEARS AS CREATIVE DIRECTOR

With industry speculation about his next move and potential successors.

Headline announcing Jonathan Anderson's departure from Loewe after serving 11 years as creative director of the Spanish luxury brand, with information about his impact and speculation regarding future plans.

After more than a decade as creative director, Jonathan Anderson is leaving Loewe, the Spanish luxury brand confirmed yesterday. During his 11-year tenure, Anderson transformed the traditional leather goods house into a significant player in the global luxury market.

In a statement provided to WWD, Loewe officially announced Anderson's departure but did not name a successor for the position. Industry insiders at recent Paris Fashion Week events speculated about Anderson's next move, with rumors suggesting he may join Dior to replace Kim Jones, potentially working already on the Spring 2026 menswear collection.

Meanwhile, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, who recently stepped down from their Proenza Schouler label, are being discussed as potential candidates to take over at Loewe.

The British designer's impact on Loewe has been substantial, as he repositioned the brand and expanded its influence in contemporary fashion. Under his direction, Loewe evolved from a relatively modest Spanish leather goods company into a brand with substantial presence in luxury markets worldwide.

Neither Anderson nor representatives from potential future brands have confirmed any rumors about his next position. Details about the exact timing of his departure and transition plans remain undisclosed.
