Leather Meets Canvas
What happens when a fashion house and an art nonprofit join forces? Studio Voltaire’s 30th anniversary brings a twist: a limited-edition collection with Loewe, featuring five artists who turn leather into art.
Alvaro Barrington transforms everyday materials—think burlap and postcards—into a leather-wrapped chain that doubles as jewelry or a keepsake. Sheila Hicks, famed for her monumental textiles, crafts a pouch inspired by her own well-worn bag, inviting future owners to fill it with their own treasures. Anthea Hamilton’s pleated leather fan, stamped with playful Italian phrases, adds a breeze of wit, while Sanya Kantarovsky’s leather and shearling masks echo the quirky figures in his paintings. Ron Nagle reimagines his signature ceramics as a tactile leather paperweight.
Each piece is more than an accessory; it’s a story stitched, pleated, or molded into leather, blurring the lines between wearable, functional, and fine art. When art and fashion collaborate, the results are anything but predictable.
