Fronted by the enigmatic Mr. Dornan, the campaign sets out to showcase the brand's latest offering while captivating the audience with a mesmerizing display of character and style.
Drawing inspiration from the iconic geometry of the original Puzzle bag, which first graced the fashion world in 2014 as Jonathan Anderson's inaugural design for Loewe, the campaign features the Puzzle Fold tote—a reinvention of the classic, timeless piece. As the actor strides confidently alongside the bag, one cannot help but notice the subtle parallels between Dornan's multifaceted persona and the intricate folds of the tote.

The campaign's photography, captured by the renowned David Sims, flawlessly captures the essence of Dornan's allure. With a lens that seems to peer deep into the actor's soul, Sims captures moments of vulnerability and strength, showcasing the multifaceted nature of the man and the bag he represents. The creative direction by Jonathan Anderson elevates the visual narrative, skillfully weaving together the worlds of fashion and cinema to form a captivating tale of style and substance.
Benjamin Bruno's styling elevates the Puzzle Fold tote to new heights, seamlessly integrating it into Dornan's impeccable wardrobe. Each ensemble is carefully curated, reflecting the actor's innate ability to exude effortless charm, whether dressed in tailored suits or laid-back casual wear. Duffy's hair styling, Lucia Pieroni's makeup, and Ama Quashie's nail art add the final touches, making Jamie Dornan the epitome of sophistication and class.
Behind the scenes, the team at Holmes Production ensures every detail is flawlessly executed. At the same time, Vincent Olivieri's set design forms the perfect backdrop to accentuate the luxury and refinement of Loewe's latest collection. The entire production comes together in an artistic symphony that resonates with the viewer, leaving a lasting impression of beauty and authenticity.
Jamie Dornan's selection as the face of Loewe speaks to the brand's commitment to presenting individuals who embody the spirit of the house. As an actor renowned for his versatility and depth of character, Dornan brings a certain allure to the brand, blurring the lines between fashion and art. His ability to morph effortlessly into the roles he portrays mirrors the transformative nature of the Puzzle Fold tote—functional, practical, yet undeniably stylish.
