JW Anderson pays homage to Tom of Finland with a three-piece capsule collection celebrating the artist’s legacy.
Jonathan Anderson noted: “I collect many types of art, but drawings have always been a passion. And as a gay man and a designer, Tom of Finland has always fascinated me. To take his drawings and use them in my designs is a bit of a dream come true.”
The collection consists of a keyring, a visor and a tote bag, all available HERE
A British summer collection - in pictures.
JW Anderson revisits the British wardrobe and its signature prints like the Check pattern and patchwork through bags and accessories, and offers ultra comfortable pieces ranging from XXL pants to flowing shirts. For the first time, in addition to the woman and the man, the tandem also signs several pieces for children.
The JW Anderson x Uniqlo collection will be available from March 12 on the Uniqlo e-shop and in stores.

Jonathan Anderson is adept at bringing almost-forgotten art to the ambience of his shows—both for his own label and at Loewe.
There were the long, narrow shifts in paisley print carried over from his women’s collections, pleated peplum tops over shorts, skinny knits, and hefty padded coats. With that sure hand he has for eye-catching Instagrammable branding, he accessorized with heavy gilt chains swathed as belts, blown up as shoe-jewelry, and minimized as sewn-on half-necklaces. The JW Anderson anchor-like logo that he invented as a 23-year-old was stenciled into a felted tote bag and worked into a patchwork sweater. vogue.com
For this fourth consecutive collaboration, JW Anderson continues to infuse his purely British DNA with the Japanese titan of the outerwear Uniqlo.
If, last season, the "cool-kid" of fashion across the Channel unveiled a summer wardrobe with Uniqlo where comfort remained spearhead, JW Anderson continues to give pride to England inspired by Saint Ives, a coastal city located in Cornwall County in the west of the country.
