The award-winning pair succeed Jonathan Anderson, who stepped down after 11 years. McCollough and Hernandez will take office on April 7 and lead the charge on Loewe’s entire production, from womenswear and menswear to leather goods and accessories.
“We are incredibly honored to join Loewe, a House whose values and mission align closely with our own,” the two say in a press release. “We look forward to working alongside its extraordinary teams and artisans, whose talent—under the exceptional creative direction of Jonathan Anderson—has shaped LOEWE into the cultural force it is today. We extend our sincere gratitude to Bernard Arnault, Delphine Arnault, Sidney Toledano, and to Pascale Lepoivre for entrusting us with this remarkable house’s next chapter.”
