Hand and Lock Embroidery

Welcome to J.W. Anderson

Embroidery … in Fashion received the support of the young and talented designer of J. W. Anderson.

Gathering inspirations from all his experiences, Jonathan Anderson launched his own label: J. W. Anderson. The brand made its debut in 2007, when Jonathan presented his first collection for Spring/Summer 2008 at London Fashion week.

Heavily influenced by Jonathan’s childhood in Ireland and his drama studies in the USA, the label’s theatrical and evocative style uses fantastical stories and fabulous references from the past to create J.W. Anderson’s extraordinarily beautiful, textural and sculptural menswear and bold ornaments. The use of a wide variety of textile arts has seen collaborations with Irish knitting, and with bespoke embroiderers Hand & Lock as the label pushes traditional skills to new dimensions.

His second collection has been worked in conjunction with Carne Griffiths - Hand & Lock’s design Director- with some fabulous embroidered pieces. All will be unveiled on September 14th at his show at the London Fashion Week (watch this space).
