Contrary to the S/S '15 70s movement, the latest J.W. Anderson Resort collection features styles from a later era.
Showing influence from his Fall '15 collection, designer J.W. Anderson has once again created a line inspired by 80s fashion. Despite its advanced starting point, this collection offers an avant-garde spin on popular 80s styles. For the vacation season, Anderson puts the fashion-forward woman in floral prints, ruffled hems ruched skirts and puffed sleeves. With suspenders attached to a dress and ruffles featured on footwear, it is clear not a single garment in this collection is untouched by the 80s aesthetic.
Whether received as a gaudy revival or chic masterpiece, the J.W. Anderson resort line is a work of art.
