German sculptor Cosima von Bonin transformed the Loewe Fall/Winter 2026 runway at Paris Fashion Week into a whimsical maritime environment. The presentation featured her signature oversized plush sea creatures—including whales, clams, and crabs—alongside a new series of canine sculptures titled "The Beaux," which referenced her recent survey at Mudam Luxembourg.
This collaboration signals that Loewe intends to maintain its deep ties to the contemporary art world following the departure of longtime creative director Jonathan Anderson. By integrating von Bonin’s caustic and humorous soft sculptures into a high-profile fashion event, the brand continues to blur the lines between luxury retail and institutional art practice, reinforcing the trend of artists using the runway as a site for large-scale installation.
