The fashion world is gaining a new spot to visit as Tim Burton brings the whimsical spookiness of Halloween Town to Loewe. The Spanish fashion house is releasing a capsule collection inspired by the 1993 stop-motion classic The Nightmare Before Christmas, with it launching on November 12. The collection will feature handbags, ready-to-wear, fragrances, leather goods, accessories, and scented candles.
Designs for the collection run from Jack and Sally, Zero-inspired monogram keychains, sweaters featuring iconic images from the film, and a crocheted Wolfman keychain. Other characters, such as the Harlequin Demon, are also featured. The collection also features both men’s and women’s options alongside accessories. Loewe’s iconic puzzle bag is also featured in this collection.
This marks the first collaboration with Burton for Loewe creative directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, who took over at the LVMH-owned label in 2025. This partnership in particular draws on the shared emphasis on craftsmanship, particularly the handmade puppets, sets, and intricate animation that brought The Nightmare Before Christmas to life.
“I love [stop motion] because it’s all handmade,” Burton told Vanity Fair in an interview accompanying the announcement. “When you see the puppets and the sets, you wish everybody could experience the tactile nature of what goes into making a stop-motion film, or any film.”
Burton also talked about his growing appreciation for human-made art amidst the rise of AI in creative spaces, saying, “The more [AI] keeps going that way, the more I appreciate [the human] side of it. I think it’s something that’s very important to keep in the world, the tactile, not being on a screen all the time and doing all that sort of thing. To me, [humanity] is very important to life and art and anything, really.”
Loewe already has a longstanding relationship with the entertainment industry. Former creative director Jonathan Anderson partnered with Japan’s Studio Ghibli on three collections inspired by My Neighbor Totoro in 2021, Spirited Away in 2022, and Howl’s Moving Castle in 2023.
Though the film is often associated with Burton, The Nightmare Before Christmas was directed by Henry Selick and based on an original poem by Burton, who also produced the film. Released in 1993 by Disney’s Touchstone Pictures Banner, the musical fantasy follows Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, as he attempts to take over Christmas. The film brings together two major holidays, making the film perfect viewing for both Halloween and Christmas.
