After studying drama, I returned to England and entered the famous london college of fashion to study men's wear. Different from the prestigious St. Martin College of Art and Design, London Institute of Fashion pays more attention to the fit between design and industry in fashion design, that is, the truly durable design. The talented Jonathan has always been famous in school, but his attendance rate is surprisingly poor. London college of fashion's men's wear course lasted for three years, but he thought that he always stayed at school for more than half a month, which came from his part-time job as a window display in Prada. "You must start work at 6 o'clock, because they won't open the door unless the windows are set during the day." Anderson recalled that this challenging job made him feel more fulfilled than going to school. Coupled with the day and night life in the party, he has always been a bad student who gives teachers a headache. He added: "I think they let my graduation project pass because they can get rid of me completely, do you understand?" As long as you pass, you won't appear in school again. Because my graduation work is really unbearable, I used real insects in my jewelry. Can you believe it? I put those bugs on my model. This is really terrible. "
Compared with a designer from a famous family, J.W. Anderson's family is much simpler. His grandparents never left their farm, and his father used to be a professional rugby player, and now he is a coach in Scotland, and his brother has entered the sports circle like his father. Anderson lived with his grandparents for a long time in his childhood. His grandfather who owned a cloth factory brought a lot of happiness to Anderson's childhood. "My grandfather's factory specializes in processing camouflage fabrics. Grandpa is often seen printing and dyeing fabrics alone. The production process of camouflage printing is really interesting. My grandmother has an old sewing machine. She often makes patchwork sheets or tablecloths at home, and she also makes clothes for my brothers and sisters. Each of us has a matching sweater. Originally, I embroidered a Winnie the Pooh bear on my chest, but I didn't think it was cool, so she changed it to a truck, but now I can't find my sweater. Maybe I should make another one. "
"J.W. Anderson's design idea is very simple, even a little cute. Most of the clothes he designs are actually visualizations of what he sees and hears every day, or his whimsy. " For example, the high heels he designed for Aldo Rise were inspired by his assistant's hairstyle, and the royal wedding of 20 1 1 made his collection full of red, white and blue elements. He was also inspired by his grandmother. When my father was a professional athlete, he often brought back some sportswear sponsored by sports brands. His grandmother always wears these clothes. Jonathan remembers the suit with vertical stripes all over his body, and similar styles also appear in his 20 12 spring/summer ready-to-wear collection. When the model tried on the clothes, Anderson jokingly said, "You look just like my grandmother."
