Northern Irish designer Jonathan Anderson founded JW Anderson in 2008. Initially, a carefully designed accessories collection quickly caught attention, allowing the fledgling brand to make its scheduled debut during London Fashion Week in 2008. Its distinctive design aesthetic offers a modern interpretation of masculinity and femininity by consciously cross-pollinating elements of menswear and womenswear to create thought-provoking silhouettes. This unique perspective earned the brand a loyal following, prompting JW Anderson to launch a womenswear capsule collection in 2010.
JW Anderson has grown into an internationally renowned and award-winning brand. Past honors include the British Fashion Awards for "Emerging Ready-to-Wear" (2012), "New Establishment Award" (2013), and "Menswear Designer of the Year" (2014). Most recently, at the 2015 British Fashion Awards, the brand achieved a historic double win for "Menswear" and "Womenswear Designer of the Year," marking the first time a brand had ever won both prestigious awards simultaneously. More recently, at the 2017 British Fashion Awards, the brand received the "Womenswear Designer of the Year" award.
