Space age motifs and frills Austin Powers would be jealous of: J.W. Anderson drops his Resort 2016 line of playful prints and swirling silhouettes.

J.W. Anderson is the master of desirable colour-ways  and clever cuts. For his Resort 16 collection, Anderson mixes the perfect blend of bold dominating stripes and sharp tailored cuts with polka dot prints and floaty fabrics. Anderson’s famed skill at placing masculine and feminine motifs together under one umbrella, in a way that is relevant to the modern wearer, is as present as ever in Resort 16, with floral frills meeting against sharp cuts of dyed leather and dark denim.

Killer knee high leather boots with spiral ruffles – some in metallic silver and bronze, others in charcoal black and beige – offer a solid base to the designs that are dappled with blues, reds, white, black and greys, along with Anderson’s well known stripes in a rainbow of colours. To balance it all, primary coloured rib knits are offered to neutralise the collection, as well as carefully placed elegant accessories of asymmetrical disk earrings and bags in white, black and electric blue.
