Men’s Zipped Roll Neck Striped Sleeve Sweater in Beige

London based J.W. Anderson is renowned for his androgynous, realistic and confident pieces for both men and women. Founding his young label in 2008, Anderson is already regarded as one of London’s most intuitive brands. Focusing on quiet individualism and refined forms, his collections are tailored and intricate whilst remaining playful and free. Working towards a radical new approach to menswear; Anderson plays with proportions, materials and silhouettes each season, pushing his brand aesthetic to the forefront of the industry. Complacent with traditional prettiness and masculinity, the label celebrates the discipline of the perverse.

J.W. Anderson’s AW16 “urban tale” articulates the fast-paced, digital fashion landscape. Zip-up knits, satin track suits, branded boxing boots and elasticated waistbands hint at sportswear whilst snail motifs proliferated over suit jackets, pea coats, padded tanks and utility parkas reaffirm this sense of speed and pace. Exploring commerciality, the collection also unveils knitted track pants, crisp poplin shirts, oversized knit cardigans and printed sweaters alongside provocative perforated leathers, studded collar chokers, revealing layers and dropped necklines. The notion of masculinity is fluid in this collection; experimenting with soft fabrics, exposed legs, cropped silhouettes, the narrative focuses on today and “morphing reality” to create progressive, every-day menswear that subverts stereotypes and the current climate.
