Style book #37: Inspired by LOEWE S/S 2011


時は遡るが、ロエベの2011年春夏コレクションは、記憶に残るコレクションだ。
ロエベならではの上質なレザーを大胆な配色で染め上げ、いかにも春夏らしい軽快でカラフルな仕上がり。観るだけでワクワクし、色の持つ不思議なパワーに魅了される。そして軽やかに舞う蝶、蝶、蝶。

En remontant un peu le temps, je voudrais vous présenter la collection Printemps-Été 2011 de Loewe, une collection qui reste gravée dans ma mémoire. Très riche en couleurs, le défilé est une ode absolue à la légèreté et la gaité du printemps. Loewe, réputé comme l'un des meilleurs fabricants de produits en cuir dans le monde, ose teindre même ses cuirs de très haute qualité en coloris vives. Quelle vivacité! C’est tout à fait fascinant.

Going back a little time, I would like to present the 2011 Spring-Summer collection of Loewe, a collection that remains etched in my memory. Very colorful, the show is an absolute ode to the lightness and cheerfulness of spring. Loewe, reputated as one of the best makers of the leather products in the world, dare dye in bright color even its high quality leather. What vivacity! It is really fascinating.


蝶の一大生息地として知られるピレネー山脈を擁するスペインは、昆虫学者を数多く輩出してきた国でもある。このバタフライプリントは、スペイン国立科学博物館が所蔵する美しい蝶の標本にインスパイアされデザインされたもので、スカーフにも展開された。

Et puis, il y a des papillons volant, le leitmotiv de la saison. Les Pyrénées d’Espagne est en fait connu comme habitat des papillons, ce qui ne contredit pas le fait que le pays compte de nombreux entomologistes dans son passé. Inspirée par la beauté des spécimens de papillons conservés au Musée national des sciences naturelles d’Espagne, la maison a crée ce magnifique dessin et imprimé aussi sur le foulard. 

And then, there are flying butterflies, the leitmotif of the season. The Pyrenees of Spain is actually known as the habitat of the butterflies, which does not contradict the fact that the country produced many entomologists in the past. Inspired by the beauty of the butterfly specimens conserved in the National Museum of Natural Sciences of Spain, Loewe created this beautiful butterfly pattern and printed also on the scarf.

  1. J'aime beaucoup la façon dont est portée la jupe en cuir rouge. Bizarrement le rose et le rouge se marient pas mal.

  2. I didn't know Loewe did such nice scarves too...

    I especially love the way you styled Jungle Love.

    I have that as well but always thought it was too wintery but you made it look good for other seasons too!

    Fabulous as always...

  5. Hello Iris,
    おめでとうございます
    My computer do not use the kanjis so I'll write in English or in French.
    I have so much pleasure reading you that I wish to let you know that you have someone from Paris who follow your blog. In fact, I do not have the pleasure to share my passion for the H scarf much around me, some never see the light, that does not stop me to get some news ones. Most of my friend do not understand. You inspire me to dig in my collection and wear them.You are doing such a fantastic job, どうもありがと. Julie

    1. Hi Julie,
      Thank you for your so sweet words! So, wow, do you speak Japanese? I have to say I was very happy to know you love reading my blog. Thank to you! And I’m exactly in the same situation as you, I have no scarf lovers around me. That’s why I started this blog and it is really a great pleasure to share my passion with all of you… and hearing from you too. Hope you never give up enjoying your treasures even your friends don’t understand you!
      またね ;-)

    2. Hello Iris,
      I lived in Japan in 1989 for a year in Tokyo, Meguro. I do speak enough Japanese to get by. Previously I lived in USA, Washington DC but I am a true parisian. If you ever need some informations from Paris I'll be glad to help you. Do not hesitate to let me know. It is always wonderfull to discover a new article for you. 頑張ってください

  6. Hi Julie,
    Thank you so much for your kind proposition. I will surely contact you if I need some helps :-) And what a coincidence! I am now living next to Meguro and I lived in Paris for several years, so Paris is second home town of my heart. I really learned a lot from you Parisians how to wear elegantly. It was a radical change, I can say if I didn’t have this experience I would never fall in love with H scarves. So, hearing from you, a true Parisian, means a lot for me! Bonne journée à vous!

    Oh, my goodness! Iris, I was nearly drooling all over my keyboard over photo one and the combination of neutrals! Gorgeous! Love the scarf, too. Love the colors in three and four as well. You're lucky to own the Jungle Love dip dye! The colors are fabulous.

    1. Thank you for your lovely words Cynthia. Your sweet compliment on the first photo pleased me a lot since this kind of neutral palette was relatively new for me. Especially, I have to say I had never paid attention to taupe color before I became addict of H scarves. I knew there were grey, beige and khaki, but I didn’t know taupe color! (Do you see what I want to mean? ;-) )

      Are you claiming to be a novice at neutrals, dear Iris? If this was one of your first attempts, you excelled by all boundaries! To me, it's stunning, and I have studied the combinations many times already.

      Do I want to see taupe? Yes!!! Yes!!! Please show me your taupe, Iris! :-))))))

  8. How many scarves do you have? You have an amazing collection! Did you collect them over time or did you fall in love with scarves and went crazy all at once?
