Northern Irish designer Jonathan Anderson presented his autumn/winter 2023 collection for Spanish luxury fashion brand Loewe in a purpose-built white box at the Château de Vincennes during Paris Fashion Week on Friday morning.

The first exit was an ivory silk duchesse dress printed with a blurred image of a floral dress. The ensuing looks distorted familiar tropes like trompe l’oeil trench and faux-fur coats on silk or satin sheaths; a classic brown wool overcoat glistens with crystal embellishment; a simple t-shirt and shorts fashioned from feathers.
