Take Shape: J.W. Anderson Men's Fall/Winter 2014

With LVMH as a new investor, designer Jonathan Anderson's Fall 2014 menswear show was certainly more polished than in years past, but J.W. Anderson, true to its DNA, had a strong offering of experimental and boundary-defiant shapes.

This season, the London-based designer played with the idea of abstract, architectural design, but with a noted dose of coziness in the knits and patterns. Believe the Brits call it, mumsy. Take the TUBULAR BIB KNIT TOP: The sheath-like, ribbed façade resembles a contemporary cult favorite, the cape (not to mention a Piet Mondrian). Texture has always been a strong focus for Anderson; pay close attention to the PERFORATED DUFFLE COAT (undershirt optional) or the genius MULTI-SEAM LONG SLEEVE TOP, reminiscent of tufted upholstery. 

Other pieces were functional, yet attention-provoking. The LOGO SWEATSHIRT has the perfect characteristics of a classic crewneck, but hiding behind the "JW" insignia rest a gloss, floral jacquard print at the center.
