Thankfully, during men's London fashion weeks, we've got J.W. Anderson, who makes the young breed of designers interesting. Showing his collection on the second day of the fashion week, Jonathan Anderson presented his new ideas on a purple carpet made from used tires which looks pretty much amazing. As we all know from the past, women's pre-fall and men's fall are connected – the colour palette, the textiles and the main themes are very close. Sudden odd details abounded, like oversize collars and sleeves and buttons fabricated from metalwork (these make me constantly confused). But his provocateur attitude was tempered by immediately desirable clothes like the two-tone turtlenecks, degrade effect car coats and gorgeous, long scarves. "I like this idea of something that felt a little apocalyptic, or looking like it came from a computer game," explained Anderson backstage of the show's backstage. As for the clothes, they were a "mishmash of decades – I like isolating the idea of the look." So the fabric on a coat could be from the 60s but the detailing on it from the 70s. "We were reflecting on different tribal movements and hybridising them. Is it an 80s jacket or not? Does that even matter? It's about rejecting nostalgia."
