Loewe is no stranger to artist collaborations. After all, art is a boundless source of inspiration for the Spanish fashion house that a collective of craftspeople founded. An extension of this artistic vision sees its latest collaboration with pioneering artist Lynda Benglis, a giant of post-war American sculpture.
Together, the duo create a unique jewellery capsule in response to Loewe’s spring-summer 2024 collection’s theme of silhouette and shape. The result? A 20-piece collection that sees Benglis’ iconic works, which showcase knotted, pleated, poured and extruded forms, transform into wearable sculptures.

The artist’s passion is to create sculpture that is always transforming and ever-responsive to the shifting world around it. Hence, each jewellery piece is constantly in motion upon its wearer. Featuring materials such as gold, sterling silver, aluminium, enamel and crystal, the collection comprises rings, cuffs, brooches, earrings and pendants.
Highlights include the Pleated Fan offerings that require hand-pleating aluminium sheets and moulding them into shape. Also permeating the collection are sparkling crystal and glitter finishes, inspired by the glitter fragments scattered all over the artist’s studio in the Santa Fe desert.
