Take A Quirky Trip with JW Anderson at it's Men's SS25 & Women's Resort 2025 Show
A kaleidoscopic journey in which silhouettes explode and boldness takes over. At Milan Fashion Week, Jonathan Anderson presents the Men's Spring/Summer 2025 and Women's Resort 2025 fashion show.
The JW Anderson fashion show venue was dramatically transformed by an installation of light bulbs, evocative of Felix Gonzalez-Torres' renowned artworks. Whether the installation alludes to a psychedelic journey or a dream inspired by the "Real Sleep" concept remains ambiguous, yet this ambiguity enhances the charm. Jonathan Anderson's latest showcase during Milan Fashion Week is a heartfelt homage to self-expression.
On the runway, models donned expansive wool coats featuring exaggerated waffle textures, knitwear sweaters echoing the facades of British homes—complete with three-dimensional birds perched on shoulders—leather jackets paired with oversized ties, and shirts and coats seemingly adorned with deflated, oversized party balloons.
Unveiling the Men's Spring/Summer 2025 and Women's Resort 2025 collections, the show also introduced the JW Anderson x Guinness collaboration, spotlighting the iconic St. James's Gate brewery in Dublin. Sweatshirts embellished with pearl-embroidered writing and sweaters featuring the Arthur Guinness logo were standout pieces. Anderson's vision for this collection is to mirror the sartorial expressions of contemporary youth, who use fashion as a medium to boldly declare their individuality and style.
The first impression of the Men's Spring/Summer 2025 and Women's Resort 2025 fashion show is one of grandeur; the outfits command space with their voluminous and exaggerated silhouettes. Anderson's consistent ability to innovate is evident, reinforcing his reputation for being perpetually prepared and forward-thinking. This collection underscores his ongoing quest to push the boundaries of fashion.
