This season, Jonathan Anderson came to Paris with a question on his mind: is provenance still important, in 2024? In other words: does it really matter that the likes of Saltburn’s aristocrats own 16th century French ceramics by Bernard Palissy, or would they be better off with a cupboard full of Stanley cups instead? It’s a good question, steeped in discourse about quiet luxury and fashion’s various other tangled class dynamics, but at the designer’s latest Loewe show – staged inside a Parisian château, where the green-walled set was lined with paintings by the late American recluse Albert York – the answer seemed pretty self-evident.
