Calling him one of the coolest British designers won’t be an exaggeration. Coolest in the real form! If you are imagining some of the most quirky prints and silhouettes than can make heads turn, he is the maestro. Anderson is the only designer to be awarded both, the Menswear and Womenswear Designer of the year title at the same time in 2015. One look at his collection will give you clues of his imagination and his interpretation of modernity and gender fluidity in fashion. He belongs to a rare clique of designers who treat fashion as an interdisciplinary art form and this time he was enamoured by interiors.

The collection was centred around interior designer and decorator David Nightingale Hicks quotes which read “The excitement of today is the freedom of the individual to make his own choice”. David Hicks was a celebrated interior designer and decorator who was known for his use of bold colours and mixing classic and contemporary art.

JW Anderson reimagined a cock tail dress and built the entire collection around it. A cocktail dress which was less demure and more of an outfit from a sci-fi flick. The collection was replete with innovative silhouettes and cuts. An undulated skirt with panels of fabrics over a top forming a perfect A line-silhouette was one of the outfits that caught our attention. He reimagined pockets and attached them separately outside on the tops and trousers like zipped patches.Some of them had oversized flowers giving an impression of intricate embroidery.

A few looks had a very interesting addition around the neck. Call them tiny caplets or collars they zipped in front of the neck and protruded over the shoulders.

Tuxedo skirts took shape of party skirts with additional panels of fabric stitched to the hemlines and trapeze tops became more elongated. Simple hoodies never seem to appeal Anderson, this time around he experimented with a few furry ones.

The accessories were a complete knockout. He reinterpreted his signature Pierce bags, now with velvet ruffled straps and in an array of bright hues. His boots became pointed with striking iridescent scales on them resembling a mermaid’s fins. Another innovation was seen in his simple mules, which did have cylindrical heels but placed in a very different way.
