Jonathan Anderson - Designer, Creative Director of JW Anderson & Christian Dior

Where’s the Dior in all of JW’s attempts?

Also loathe the Ariana archives. Great in theory but they don’t actually fit her so she looks like she’s a child playing dress up in her mums couture closet. It’s not a great look. Even with temporary alterations that can be undone it looks so silly. One’s style can’t be defined by archive pulls. It’s fashion trophy hunting, and it’s sad to witness.

but what even is that collection? is it Pre-Fall? Or a capsule or what? Looks so random!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that must be the commercial lookbook of the runway show collection. Every brand does that now, they have dedicated design team who is in charge of making more commercial (hence basic and banal) offerings taking the fashion show as inspiration. Hence, a more wearable version of specific fashion show ensembles.

Could also be resort so there’s continuity in-store with the first men’s delivery. It wouldn’t look out of place if it shared the runway a la Prada shows in the in the mid 10’s.

Speaking of resort there are location scouts in LA for a potential resort show on May 15 per Lauren Sherman at Puck

It is indeed Spring 2025 and not the commercial version of the runway collection. I received the look book with prices and let just say some of them knocked my socks off lol (in a bad way).

LA feels more in tune with KJ rather than JWA. I was expecting an Asian city or London as first Resort show.
