For Spring 2014, J.W. Anderson decided not to blur gender lines. Instead, he delivered an ultra feminine mix. He cites the recent spell of good weather as an inspiration and he wanted to experiment with texture this season and how light can change the appearance of a fabric.

One of the best things about Anderson is that he truly creates ‘textural’ visual masterpieces. Starting out with delicate sheer baby doll tops and long skirts, they bounced with flounce and flirt. They were lined together so perfect to create fantastic blouson pleating, like tiered wedding cakes. So delicate, but still powerful with an added bite. J.W. Anderson also presented his asymmetrical trademark in a series of architectural crop tops in the shape of architecturally stylized bows. These bows popped up numerous times in Anderson’s Spring lineup, adorning sheer tops that were paired with pleated skirts and cinching looks at the waist in what appeared to be gathered leather. His leather ‘shielding’ shoulders made another appearance and continue to be some of the fiercest additions seen in womenswear.

Unique and refreshing, this designer continues to step up his game each season, with wonderful results. Instead of borrowing from ‘fashion past,’ he’s creating quite a bright future for what lies ahead for the industry. No wonder if rumours circulating that conglomerate LVMH are looking to invest in the designer and his label. But above all else, it was a collection that cemented this young designer’s position – the fact that he is only in his twenties is remarkable. (Text Teuku Ajie)
