LONDON: An inescapable feature of modern life, the instantly recognisable motifs of mobile phone applications inspired British designer Jonathan Anderson’s London Fashion Week show Jan 8, with his brash embroidered creations lighting up the catwalk. Anderson, whose daring collections have earned him a reputation as one of the rising stars of the fashion industry, presented the autumn-winter 2017 collection by his own label, J.W. Anderson, using the colourful square logos that fill up smartphone screens around the world as a muse. Anderson admitted that their length rendered them “non-functional”, joking that they were “not good for eating a dinner like spaghetti Bolognese”. Men’s Fashion Week ends on Monday, when the industry will pack its suitcases for Milan, Paris and then New York.
