Just in case you thought you’d seen the last of Loewe’s distinctive flowers, the Spanish luxury brand has teamed up with Matches Fashion to launch a one-weekend-only immersive café in London – and no anthuriums were spared in the making. Taking over Matches’ first floor, the installation features Loewe’s SS23 collection – which saw the flowers tucked into waistbands, tops, bags, and heels.
Meanwhile, the café will focus on showcasing the collection’s eclectic shoe offering – which spanned from fur-covered heels to balloon-collaged wedges, and blown-up Barbie heels – all available from Matches. Sit among the anthuriums to enjoy brunch or afternoon tea from a bespoke menu by chef Imogen Kwok – the café is open to the public until April 15, from 10am to 6pm at 5 Carlos Place, London. However, you can visit the installation until May 13.
