There may have been decades worth of references that inspired Jonathan Anderson for his latest collection, but ultimately the J.W. Anderson man was treated to a blast from the past, he said his research hopped from the Fifties through the Eighties, “mixing everything up to the point where references don’t matter.” Here the clothes, from the 90s style bootcut pants with slits down the sides, to the 60s leather jackets, were a patchwork of styles across the decades. Yes: this was a typically thought-provoking, disorientating experience from J.W.Anderson.

Anderson added that he was researching into the idea of “pataphysics” pioneered by French writer Alfred Jarry, who brought Otherness to the realm of traditional science. This desire to project what lies far, far ahead explains the reprise of 70’s retrofuture shapes with tailored bellbottom trousers, ribbed knits, pique wing collar, half-zip collared sweaters, waxy nappa leather outerwear and a spectrum of brown hues. Save for the oversized, stereo-like buttons that lined the coats — the outcome of a collaboration with ceramicist Lucy Rie — the ideas that featured down the runway today felt like a hyper-evolved direction for Anderson.
