Loewe Launches Ss24 Precollection Campaign By Juergen Teller
LOEWE presents the Spring Summer 2024 precollection campaign: a prismatic depiction of individual characters, crafted into meta-pictures by Juergen Teller.
The campaign is a further instalment of the ongoing dialogue between creative director Jonathan Anderson and photographer Juergen Teller, and is embodied by the unique cast of personalities that give life to the images: an ever-evolving, transversal roster of talents from the worlds of music, film, art and fashion. This new campaign features actresses Greta Lee, Maggie Smith and Dakota Fanning, actor Mike Faist, artist Rachel Jones, model Fei Fei Sun, and LOEWE Global Ambassadors, musician TAEYONG and actor Josh O’Connor.
Looking straight into the camera, either defiantly or nonchalantly, and in rather gritty domestic surroundings—a red brick wall, a wooden patio, a room with dilapidated wallpaper or stacks of chairs in a corner, an empty pool—the protagonists casually show off LOEWE bags such as the Classic and Edge versions of the Puzzle, the Puzzle Fold tote, the Squeeze, the Pebble Bucket, Paseo and Fold shopper.
