LOEWE Magazine Issue 6
In a celebration of all things Spanish, the sixth edition of the quarterly magazine sees David Sims photograph Taylor Russell, Drew Starkey, and Wang Yibo in the mountains of Catalonia, and pays homage to LOEWE’s home city with stories introducing the new Madrid bag, visiting a masterpiece of mid-century modernism in the city’s suburbs, and exploring the Prado Museum with award-winning author Chloe Aridjis.
The celebration of all things Spanish continues in stories that see Jonathan Anderson introduce the new Madrid bag, a homage to the understated elegance, cool confidence, and artistic heritage of LOEWE’s home city – also celebrated in the Un Paseo por Madrid fragrance collection. The new issue spotlights the collection’s new Prado fragrance through the prose poetry of Mexican-American novelist Chloe Aridjis, inspired by the museum’s iconic paintings during her Writing the Prado residency initiated by the LOEWE FOUNDATION. Away from the city centre, the magazine turns its attention to Madrid’s suburbs to introduce a new, recurring feature, Made in Spain, by visiting the mid-century modernist home of the legendary architect Javier Carvajal.
With Drew Starkey, the object of William S. Burroughs’ desire in Luca Guadagnino’s Queer, cast in the new SS25 campaign, the magazine takes a deep dive behind the scenes of the film’s release, meeting with screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes for Cicchetti in Venice ahead of its festival premiere, while Jonathan Anderson discusses the particularly louche nonchalance that pervades the film’s mid-20th century costumes with the MET Museum’s Andrew Bolton.
Elsewhere, the magazine welcomes the Year of the Snake by honouring the cloisonné craftspeople, shadow puppet masters, and dancers of LOEWE’s new Spring Awakening short film. Louvre curator Olivier Gabet casts his critical eye over the SS25 runway presentation. Evan Ross Katz assembles New Yorkers at Tribeca’s Trilogy Photo Lab to have their passport photo taken wearing pieces from the new pre-collection, and takes time for tea with Naomi Ackie and Baby Reindeer actor Jessica Gunning in Paris. Plus, plenty of other surprises spread over 132 pages, including Murano glass seahorses, J.S. Bach’s sonatas, and Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights.
The SS25 LOEWE magazine issue six is available for free at LOEWE stores worldwide from 3 March.
