JW ANDERSON – CASUAL LAYERING
Nostalgic yet unpredictable, J W Anderson’s SS15 collection is the epitome of glamourized loungewear. Loose fitting pyjama style trousers, twin-sets and belted gowns were featured throughout in humble retro shades. An emphasis on 1970’s knitwear was apparent with a series of quirky quilted landscape inspired sweaters.
J W Anderson is known for his innovative approaches to challenging gender roles within fashion; he showed onlookers a feminine collection with a masculine edge for equal measure.

Prints were kept minimal and colours subtle with layered jackets, metallics, dip dye, patent leather and florals.
