#LONDON #FASHIONWEEK Glorifying nostalgia was the theme at the latest JW Anderson A show presented in a moment when songs of a near half-century ago can become global hits and the model's hair style reminds the past. That’s not to suggest that the clothes were traditional – anything but. From proportion to construction, Anderson keeps on breaking new ground.   Like his brilliant cable-knit tops and mini cocktails cut Centurion style, in three-inch thick strands of wool. Followed by thick retro mohair chess piece dresses finished with sweatshirt trim. Both sure to ignite fresh trends and be copied by high street brands. Another indication of Anderson’s importance for UK fashion. Few fantastically large coats whose shoulders were almost three times the size of the models wearing them, with sleeves reaching all the way to the ankles. Referencing a time when people bought cloth themselves “The odd types of Britain. The grotesque and the pragmatic. That strange TV program 'Last of the Summer Wine'. The idea of how you take something familiar and break it into something new – a hat that was a wig, a coat with lining completely ripped. Celebrating odd culture,” opined Anderson post-show. LVMH
