The model and actor Hari Nef<\/a>\u2014who walked in JW Anderson<\/a>\u2019s Spring\/Summer 2023<\/a> collection in a London casino yesterday afternoon\u2014summarised Jonathan Anderson\u2019s magic perfectly. \u201cA teenage dream come true to walk for the least predictable designer on planet earth,\u201d she wrote on Instagram after the show. \u201cLet’s never stop transforming or wearing wigs or hunting prey or being the trade one wishes to see in the world. Clothes are scripts I think.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a sentiment that Anderson himself no doubt would have loved. Having spent the last 15 years developing a reputation as the British fashion industry\u2019s wacky wunderkind, Anderson finds himself among the most esteemed designers in the country. His namesake label\u2019s runway presentations (he also designs for Loewe) are the most coveted tickets at any given London Fashion Week.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a good reason for that, as attendees of his S\/S \u201823 collection can attest to. Housed at a buzzing casino in the heart of Soho, right next to Anderson\u2019s flagship London store, the collection was inspired by \u201cstock digital pictures you can find on the internet and buy for a dollar\u201d. The end result was a kind of palimpsest of internet-y imagery\u2014jersey bodysuits and handbags with kitschy tropical prints, soft cotton halterneck dresses with giant keyboard letters affixed at the hip (J, W, and A, naturally), an Instagram-breaking mini dress in the shape of a large, metallic chrome egg.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mia Regan<\/a>, this season\u2019s It-girl du jour<\/em>, appeared on the runway in a crinkled shirt dress with a large picture of the earth on it (a statement about half-hearted millennial clicktivism? Or perhaps I\u2019m reading into things). Elsewhere, Anderson\u2019s reverence for the surreal appeared through mini dresses fashioned to look like a plastic bag holding a goldfish, and an oversized \u2018sweater dress\u2019 with the silhouette of a jumper cut out, turned upside down, and affixed to the bodice.<\/span><\/p>\n

What was most surprising was the more wearable elements\u2014Emily Ratajkowski<\/a> was dressed down in an oversized black tee, distressed jeans (though they were fabulously sequin-embellished), and green Croc-style sneaker-sandal hybrids. Nef wore a variation on the look: white tee, baggy tracksuit pants, chunky trainers. There was unapologetically beautiful silk, lace-embroidered slip dresses, great quilted handbags, and crystal-embellished flats. All in all, a quintessentially Andersonian effort\u2014a little of what you know and love, and a love of what you never knew you needed.<\/span><\/p>\n
