We are exciting about a new collaboration with designer Jonathan Anderson — of the eponymous label, J.W.Anderson and rapper and producer A$AP Rocky that will drop on Monday. It’s an eight-piece capsule collection of urban streetwear.

Anderson told Vogue: “We first met through mutual friends, and I was into his music. I’d say we started collaborating, at least in conversation, back in 2015, when he started wearing some of our pieces in his music videos and what not. I liked how he carried them off.”

It seems their friendship blossomed and Anderson “really trusted” Rocky to take the lead. Rocky called the lineup JWA AWGE, and created a logo for it which appears embroidered throughout. In this line there are: two beanies; two track jackets with retro-colour banded sleeves and a bit of a stretched-out proportion, which is in sync with Anderson’s own design tendencies; two pairs of track pants; and two faux-fur “teddy” jackets in black and tan.

The collection will go on sale at J.W.Anderson Workshops, 100 Shoreditch High St, London E1 6JQ on Monday and can be preordered online now.
