These days it is very rare to see a collection by Jonathan Anderson that does not leave social media drooling or arguing. And if that is not a sign of a successful designer I don’t know what is. Thought-provoking is a very overused word in fashion and I might have also used it with liberty in the past – but if I were to ever describe Anderson’s work it would be thought-provoking.

A delightful mind-bend, drawing inspiration from the dreamlike visions of Spanish artist Luis Buñuel. Trompe l’oeil prints blurred the lines between reality and illusion, with garments mimicking skin, feathers, and even flowers. Some stand-out items in this collection were anthurium bustiers, pixelated sweatshirts, velvet pannier dresses, draped cocktail dresses and some pleated mini polo dresses. The collection’s minimal rich nature-inspired details added authenticity and drama.

Anderson masterfully manipulated proportions, juxtaposing oversized jackets with shrunken skirts, adding to the dreamlike quality. The craftsmanship was impeccable, with delicate lacework, intricate beading, and traditional Spanish techniques like macramé and crochet gracing the pieces.
