JW Anderson captivated his audience by transporting them to a serene Zen garden in Tokyo with his latest Fall-Winter 2019 collection. The collection perfectly balanced minimalism with innovative design, showcasing the designer’s knack for creating anything but basic essentials. From pagoda-shoulder jackets to chesterfield check warp boleros with exaggerated sleeves, every piece exuded a sense of uniqueness and style.
The runway show, held at Yeoman House in Bloomsbury, featured models strutting diagonally to create a sense of symmetry reminiscent of Samuel Beckett’s work. Each ensemble was accentuated with a quirky baseball cap, adding a playful element to the sophisticated designs. Versatility was key in this collection, with jackets that could be layered and strips of tulle used to add an unexpected twist.
Describing his collection as “awkward elegance,” Anderson drew inspiration from the essence of Britain and imagined the distinctive characters that would wear his creations. The show was met with enthusiastic applause from fashion insiders, including luminaries like Anna Wintour and Sidney Toledano. JW Anderson’s presentation at London Fashion Week was undoubtedly a standout, showcasing the most contemporary and forward-thinking designs of the season.
