Which Artist Made Dogs and Whales for Loewe’s Fall Winter 2026 Show?

Loewe cultivated a reputation for collaborating with cutting-edge contemporary artists under creative director Jonathan Anderson, who exited the fashion house for Dior last year. But based on Loewe’s Fall Winter 2026 collection debut during Paris Fashion Week on Friday, those collaborations appear to remain a core part of Loewe’s ethos. Sculptor Cosima von Bonin was the artist of choice this time around. Alongside designs by Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, the show featured plush whales, clams, crabs, and other sea creatures that sat on low plinths situated between the event’s attendees, which included the rapper Lil Yachty, the actresses Aubrey Plaza and Sissy Spacek, and former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.

Mid-Atlantic Braces For Another Winter Blast Before A Spring Warmup

Early next week, a fast-moving Alberta Clipper is forecast to bring yet another round of wintry weather to the region before a spring warm-up arrives by mid-month. Marko Korosec, lead forecaster at SWE, wrote in a new weather note that the Alberta Clipper is set to spread snow, ice, and freezing rain from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic beginning Sunday and continuing through Tuesday.
