Northern Irish designer Jonathan Anderson founded JW Anderson in 2008. An elaborate accessory collection quickly attracted attention, resulting in the young label being featured in the program during London Fashion Week 2008. His unique design aesthetic offers a modern interpretation of masculinity and femininity, creating thought-provoking silhouettes through a deliberate crossover of menswear and womenswear elements. This distinctive perspective, which has earned the label a cult following, prompted JW Anderson to present a capsule collection for women in 2010. JW Anderson has become an internationally renowned and award-winning brand for apparel and accessories. In the past, he has received the British Fashion Awards for “Emerging Talent, Ready-to-Wear” (2012), “The New Establishment Award” (2013), and “Menswear Designer of the Year” (2014), among others. The brand also received a historic double award for “Menswear” and “Womenswear Designer of the Year” at the 2015 British Fashion Awards—the first time a brand has won both prestigious awards.
