J W Anderson

I’ve just had a conversation with a stylist friend who’s borrowing some clothing for a forthcoming shoot and he’s kindly introduced me to the wonderful world of JW Anderson, a designer pushing the boundaries of menswear as much as the boys in the clubs East. I was mental busy setting up this when the shows came out so didn’t have much of a chance to do as in-depth analysis as I wanted so this completely passed me by. What a nice Tuesday surprise.

Before I’d seen this I’d been toying with the idea of bows on menswear – I think I might make some mens hair bows. Fuck it yeah lets push it and I have just the boy in mind to wear it. I loved Alexander McQueen’s Houndstooth bows and I want them on everything, kitchen sink, taps, maybe even my bike.

Below is a MINK BOMBER – yes, I shouted that, you have to, it’s MINK. A mohican nod to the punk look that’s around at the moment but so much more humorous and clever.

Today I was on a little buying trip and I’ve bought velvet, brocade and quilted items for my menswear range. No you’re not even getting a sneak preview so I was even more excited when I saw this spoilt prince Dandy look. Should be worn with an air of arrogance and insouciance. 

Today I’ve received my first limited edition T-shirt run, a collaboration with Ornamental Conifer – BITCHY make friends. They’re sexy and bony – we’ll be selling them at our pop up store Blood Sweat and Tears at Fete for the Wicked this Saturday along with other artists and designers.

This evening we’re listenting to Beanie Man. If I had a half decent batty I would wind it but I’m a tall skinny girl so that’s not going to be happening.
