PRESS RELEASE
Ahead of its 18th edition in February 2025, Melbourne Art Fair is proud to announce a dynamic new partnership with LOEWE, a global leader in luxury fashion lauded for its artistry and commitment to craftsmanship since 1846.
Melbourne Art Fair joins LOEWE to celebrate a world-first preview with the debut of Jonathan Anderson’s reprised collaboration with Kyoto-based ceramist duo Suna Fujita in Australasia. Exhibited for the first time with an intimate viewing experience exclusively within LOEWE’s Melbourne Collins Street store, a selection of twenty delicate and playful pieces from the Suna Fujita ceramic studio were unveiled alongside the new series of bags, ready-to-wear and accessories.
“This partnership is a reflection of Melbourne Art Fair and LOEWE’s shared commitment to supporting living artists and creatives, and an exciting precursor to the 18th edition of the Fair, which promises to be one of our most dynamic and anticipated showcases yet,” said Fair Director Melissa Loughnan. “Melbourne Art Fair is thrilled to partner with LOEWE in celebrating the playful launch of the LOEWE x Suna Fujita collaboration.”
Launching today in stores and online, the LOEWE x Suna Fujita collection brings to life the work of the acclaimed ceramicists, known for their miniature hand-painted scenes. Featuring whimsical characters—from ocean creatures to cosmic animals—the collection transforms everyday pieces into dreamlike works of art across LOEWE accessories, ready-to-wear and mesmerising facades.
The debut of the LOEWE x Suna Fujita collection arrives just ahead of the 18th edition of Melbourne Art Fair. Taking place 20-23 February 2025 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, Melbourne Art Fair will bring together 60 of the region’s most exciting galleries and Indigenous art centres to showcase works by new and iconic artists, with a focus on solo and tightly curated presentations, and works of scale and significance.
The LOEWE x Suna Fujita collection launches in stores and on loewe.com from November 14 until December 29, 2024.
The Melbourne Art Fair 2025 full artistic program with exhibiting artists will be announced in January 2025. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.melbourneartfair.com.au/tickets.
