Background
Born in Magherafelt, Northern Ireland in 1984, Jonathan William Anderson originally wanted to pursue a career in acting. Whilst studying drama he discovered a love for stage costume and went on to study menswear at the London College of Fashion. His collection made its debut at London Fashion Week in 2007. J.W.Anderson thereafter embarked upon a natural progression into womenswear alongside his formidably esoteric accessories collection.
Inspiration
J.W.Anderson's SS12 collection is entitled 'Craft Goes Machine' and is a veritable ode to difference, exploring and celebrating the two extremes of craft versus mass produced high tech production. Each and every piece is pushed to include different techniques, textures, patterns and ways of wearing. The Paisley theme continues with a new abstracted graphic that is at once traditional and fresh in its graphical take.
