JW Anderson presented its Spring Summer 20 collection on 16 September at the Yeomanry House in London.
Designed by Jonathan Anderson and styled by Benjamin Bruno, the collection of 41 looks was a continuation of themes established with Jonathan’s recent collections: capes and trenches reappeared in shimmery metallics and crystal embellishments adorned multiple looks. Ultra-feminine knit dresses in spring pastels were featured as well as asymmetrical floral-print dresses. Bags included a basket shape featuring a woven shoulder strap and new versions of the brand’s Keyts family of bags.
JW Anderson also presented its first “see now, buy now” offering, a new version of the Cap Bag in cadet blue with sky blue suede lining and an embossed JW Anderson logo at the back. The bag was featured in Look 29 and worn to the show by influencer Carlo Sestini, celebrity couple Chen Ran and Mark Luu and Yasmin Sewell.
Backstage after the show, Jonathan spoke of his inspiration for the show: “…I wanted to keep the configuration of the space from last season and yet still evolve. I saw Liz Magor’s work at Harvard and I liked what she was saying about the experience about looking. I thought about this idea of ‘looking’ at things and how we perceive them, how we look at textures, how we see jewelry and what jewelry really is… I was looking at old magazine covers and the objects were more theatrical in a sense.”
