/Intro: Gray Sorrenti shot the SS2020 ‘Loewe Paula’s Ibiza collection’ in New Delhi. Creative Director JW Anderson describes the scene: “the protagonists are captured at private parties in Dilliwalen Havelis, riding scooters and tuk-tuks along rarely seen corners of the capital’s streets, BMXing on rooftops, and amongst members of its B-Boy subculture, creating a feeling of bonding that is not imagined, but real.”
Couple the Loewe campaign with the release of Vogue Italia’s May 2020 gender-bending collab with L’Uomo — and AOC is prompted to share a series of articles to expand the conversation within a sociological-cultural backdrop.
