J.W. Anderson's Past Influences The Future

When asked what the inspirations were behind his Fall/Winter 2015 Menswear collection, J.W. Anderson cited the work of classic science fiction writer George Orwell. Though an unexpected reference in the world of fashion, a look at the collection will prove very quickly that it is an accurate one.

Expanding upon design elements present in his women’s Pre-Fall 15 collection, Anderson continues down the path of retrofuturism. Bizarrely oversized scarves, mid-century modern zipper pulls, and gender-bending color blocks take the “scholarly,” refined basics in the collection to a place that you can’t distinguish as either the past or the future. The collection’s intended decade might be all over the map, but with this ambiguity—as well as clean, expert tailoring and wearable color scheme—the collection achieves timelessness.
