Summer’s looking peachy thanks to Loewe, with the latest addition to its Paula’s Ibiza 2021 collection. Fruit prints and summer fashion have always gone hand in hand, but the Spanish house has reimagined this classic pairing with its signature art-centric touch. From ready-to-wear pieces to matching accessories, the entire collection is emblazoned with kiwi, passionfruit, and watermelon motifs, rendered in a strikingly minimalist style.
A bikini top crocheted with a watermelon pattern will make you feel like you’ve been transported to a sparkling beach along the Ibiza coast, especially if you loop a matching watermelon bandana through your hair. Crafted from lightweight fabrics like cotton, silk and linen, the garments make for chic and fuss-free outfit options in Singapore’s sweltering heat. But living in an urban cityscape also means never being far from an air-conditioned mall. A thin black sweatshirt, splashed with swathes of fruit prints, will come in handy for those indoor expeditions.
With Phase 3 (Heightened Alert) upon us soon, that means more opportunities to get out and about. Espadrilles are the classic summer footwear of choice, and Loewe’s version—in the zesty yellow palette of a passion fruit—is sure to put a bounce in your step as you traipse around town.
It wouldn’t be a Loewe collection without a series of finely crafted leather goods. The ones in this case—cardholders, wallets, purses, and crossbody bags—have been reimagined as cross sections of the featured fruit trio. Some are made from a combination of natural fibres and leather, while the full-leather pieces boast layered silhouettes that depict their fruity inspirations with added dimensionality.
Singapore’s soaring temperatures are no joke, but wearing these cooling fruits on your body might help to keep your spirits deliciously cool as well. After all, nothing screams summer quite like munching on these seasonal fruits while laying by the pool, the juices turning your fingers sticky as you manoeuvre the pages of your beach read—might we suggest Vogue?
