“It’s about refocusing on the craft and the details,” said Jonathan Anderson, who continued to push the boundaries of skin with a multitude of propositions. Case in point: Using the pockets on a cargo pant to showcase the results of the latest experimentations, like a leather corduroy with hand-scraped grooves, and a range of washes.
Needlepoint-style nature designs on bags were made by laser-cutting holes in the leather. The house’s popular jester-style Dino sneakers with curved toes had also been added to the men’s offer, available in regular low-top but also high-top versions. He also added messenger bags in tan leather and shearling, chiming with the season’s Nineties obsession.
Takeaways included a striped fleece jogger, cropped workwear-inspired denim, a Seventies-flavored patchwork shearling and a supercool caramel puffer bomber.
Looks came tricked with fresh updates on the designer’s cute till-ringer accessories like mini sheepskin cross-body purses and squirrel-shaped key rings, with the childish sensibility extending to details like oversized buttons on coats.
