Loewe and Studio Ghibli have just teamed up for yet another collaboration, and this time, the luxury House is launching an extensive ready-to-wear collection featuring our favourite characters from the film, Howl’s Moving Castle. Animating clothing and accessories, you can expect to see characters appear on bags including the Puzzle, Flamenco, Hammock, Amazona, Luna, and Bracelet pouches, on small leather goods, on jumpers, jackets, and shirts, with details such as appliqué, raffia or feathers making them stand out as if they were alive. Scenes of the film are also printed on the lining of tweed jackets, or all over shirts and shorts. Feathers on a cardigan create a magical fluttering and silhouettes allow the characters to be the real protagonists in each piece.
It has been a long time coming for this collection, and fans of the film’s franchise are already starting to queue to get their hands on this exclusive collection. So if you’re looking to cop anything from the new range, we highly recommend that you start shopping stat.
The Loewe x Studio Ghibli collection is now available at Loewe’s ION Orchard boutique.
