J.W. Anderson
Modular. JW Anderson Pre-Fall’16
Jonathan Anderson never fails to deliver a provoking and literally mind-blowing collection for his own, eponymous label. For pre-fall 2016, the J.W. Anderson woman is continuing her wardrobe musings from the summer outing – the remarkable, leg-of-mutton sleeves and bra-like crop-tops blurred with the stereotypical appeal of fish-net tights. “Modular” is what he called his lookbook, meaning the way the silhouettes overlap each other and the Edwardian-like sleeves which are a minimal nod to the past. However, “modular” might also mean the interesting way Jonathan mixes different textures and elements – strips of fur are combined with cloud-like pillows, creating a very sculptural jacket. Just to make it even more extraordinary, take a note of the shoes – the nylon covered, 90’s studded boots make this collection even more… unexpected. And surely one-of-a-kind!

Body Show. JW Anderson SS16
Jonathan Anderson is a designer with that spark in whatever he does. For his eponymous, London-based brand, J.W. Anderson went baby-pink with arty, Keith Harinng-inspired graffiti art. The models looked “nude” in their pastel sweaters, while the duvet dresses and voluminous shoulders gave the collection an edgy, slightly eerie feeling. But what really shocked in terms of Anderson’s style was the opening outfit – a black, minimal bra and high-waisted pink trousers. I think that’s the most flesh-exposing look delivered by the designer ever! It played a strong contrast towards the built-up tops, though.
