Loewe and Comme de Garçons celebrate Spain-Japan links
10/09/2013
Arguably, links between Spain and Japan go back more than 400 years, to the arrival of early Spanish Jesuit missionaries and traders in the middle part of the sixteenth century, but 400 years is the length of time highlighted by Loewe.
The new collection combines aspects of both cultures, principally lamb nappa leather from Spain and washed denim from Japan. Skirts, jackets, trousers are all part of the collection, and they are complemented by calf-leather and textile bags.
