London Fashion Week AW11: JW Anderson

JW Anderson’s show had everything I could possibly dream of. His show notes described his unisex approach as ‘taking ‘stuff you’d probably expect to see on girls on boys and vice versa and making very little of it’. So out came the now-familar bovver boots (decorated with furry tufts instead of last season’s crystals), leather biker jackets, too-short boy trousers and some spectacular paisley-sleeved utilitarian coats. To the tune of The Pixies’ Gouge Away I added mohair knitwear, paisley silk two pieces and navy wool kilt-trousers to my fantasy winter shopping list. Wednesday sees Anderson’s men’s collection unveiled so we’ll have to wait to see how that collection correlates to this…
