While originally focusing on menswear, JW Anderson released its first womenswear collection in 2010. \n\r\nKnown for developing innovative designs, embracing craft techniques and skewing gender norms, the London-based house soon earned critical acclaim and numerous awards. In 2015, they became the first brand to win both the Menswear and Womenswear Designer of the Year accolades at the British Fashion Awards. \n\nThis ensemble, look 18 from the JW Anderson Spring Summer 2024 show, which combined Men’s Spring Summer 2024 with Women’s Resort 2024 at Milan Fashion Week, demonstrates Anderson’s celebration of craft in contemporary fashion. In 2016, the designer established the LOEWE Foundation Craft Prize (between 2013 and 2025 Anderson also worked as Creative Director at the luxury fashion house LOEWE), supporting independent artists across the globe with the aim of platforming and preserving craft skills. This ensemble features a fully hand-knitted tank top with a complex interlocking structure, created by expertly knitting the separate pieces simultaneously. The top was available in purple and yellow as well as green.\n","physicalDescription":"Hand-knitted sleeveless wool top with a complex interlocking structure and various openings. The green, yellow and black yarns used create a similar geometric pattern. The top is not lined. The full-length black trousers, also unlined, have a drawstring at the waist ending in silver-coloured tips.
