New Location Features Full Range of Women’s Fashion and Accessories
On July 16, Loewe opened a new store at River Oaks District, Houston’s premier open-air shopping and dining destination. The 191 sqm store offers a comprehensive selection of women’s ready-to-wear, bags, shoes, small leather goods, sunglasses, home scents, and other accessories.
The Loewe Houston River Oaks District store follows creative director Jonathan Anderson’s Casa Loewe concept, enhancing the retail experience with the feel of an art collector’s home. The store features a grounding color palette of pink, brown, white, and blue ceramic tiles throughout its exterior and interior. Brass, oak wood, marble, and concrete accents complement the natural materials. The furniture includes Utrecht armchairs, wooden Nakashima chairs, an Axel Vervoordt table, marble podiums, and ceramic vessels, creating a sophisticated atmosphere. Bespoke wool rugs with reproductions of British textile artist John Allen’s agrarian landscapes, such as “White Horse with River” and “Purple Road Lake,” add a tranquil vibrancy to the space.
Art pieces from Loewe’s collection are displayed throughout the store. British master potter Edmund de Waal’s ceramics (2011) showcase slight irregularities, initiating a conversation between tradition and modernity. Iranian-born, German-based painter Behrang Karimi’s “Gardening at Night” (2022) is an oil on linen piece depicting an energetic fragment of time, inviting extended viewing as the colors transform. British painter Eliot Hodgkin’s two botanical pencil sketches (1975) demonstrate his study of extracting beauty from seemingly mundane natural scenes.
