Fun, Games & Shock–Explosive colors, patterns and shapes burst forth with J.W. Anderson’s latest showing during London Fashion Week. Bringing an eccentric taste palette to the season, Anderson’s fall/winter 2012 collection reads as the insane intersection between an idea of retro perfection and future utopia with a sportswear vibe thrown in for good measure. Turning up the dial and holding no barres, commitment goes a long way as mesh collarless jackets are matched by crewneck sweaters with a larger than life windowpane print. Meanwhile, trousers in interesting fabrications bare a fantastically awkward flair. Continuing an attention garnering dialogue, quilting takes center stage, ushering in a range of jackets, skirts, pants and accessories. Zany to say the least, underneath the contained chaos, Anderson pulls off a choice selection of clothes, particularly outerwear, cutting wonderful silhouettes for the fall.
