Day five of Paris Fashion Week and earlier today, Jonathan Anderson unveiled his latest collection for Loewe. Guests (including a bevy of A-list talent such as Brie Larson, Meg Ryan, Emilia Clarke and Shawn Mendes) flocked to the historic Château of Vincennes on the eastern edge of the French capital to digest Anderson’s collection inspired by the work of the late American landscape artist Albert York. Having a blatant talent for transforming something odd into something desirable and sophisticated, the Irish designer presented a lineup of eye-catching and whimsical silhouettes – adorned with floral, radish and bird motifs and often crafted from fabrics you might have found in the the living room of Anderson’s grandmother.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“That was really good. Great soundtrack as always! Much better than last season. Opening looks were elegant. Black and white draped gown felt out of place but still very nice. Loved the prints, the lettuce pants can go. The tailed tuxedo jackets were fab. The checkered gown! The appliqué checkered dress!” [youthinasia]

“Much better than the latest menswear collection! It’s focused and wearable, the weirdness is used in the right context, and the wit is still there. It also feels oddly commercial, but it shouldn’t be surprising with the brand’s expansion plan. I can also see the impact of [Adrian] Appiolaza leaving the brand, I guess he was responsible for the surreal touch.” [perhydrol]

“Very commercial but still interesting. Those matching shorts and tops and all the jumpers will sell out fast.” [tourbillions]

“A pretty damn good show from him, less gimmicks and flaws than the last 5 collections.” [yslforever]

“I think it’s a good collection! The set was a bit annoying and the presentation was far from enjoyable while watching it but the collection is good. This is not a collection that will inform fashion. It’s not a statement. It’s probably one of those collections that people will forget about but it’s good enough. There’s a consistency, an intricacy in terms of ideas that is good. I think the more commercial pieces here are fantastic. JWA is a great commercial designer!” [Lola701]

“The most beautiful looks were the commercial ones and less complicated ones. It is indeed a good collection!” [GivenchyAddict]

We’re guessing you may be suffering from a little collab fatigue by now. And who can blame you? Between Nicki Minaj teaming up with Fendi and Reformation partnering with New Balance, it seems like everyone and their mama have a collab out. But there’s one team effort we’ve been waiting for: UNIQLO x JW Anderson Fall 2019.

The dynamic duo just dropped its fourth collection and it’s full of colorful knits and fleece that’ll make you want to head outdoors. Inspired by a train ride Jonathan Anderson took from London to St Ives in Cornwall, the tartan-heavy offering will make you look forward to stepping outside in the downright freezing months ahead. And the collection wouldn’t be complete without a cool new bag, this time in the form of a bulky reversible carryall.

Get ready to have a warm winter. Shop the new collab at UNIQLO.

It’s back! Starting today, LVMH is accepting applications for its second-ever Prize for Young Fashion Designers. At stake is €300,000 and a yearlong mentorship courtesy of the luxury conglomerate. 

Last year’s winners include Hood by Air, Miuniku and Thomas Tait, who took home top honors out of 1200 applicants in the first go-round of the competition. Now, LVMH is looking for another crop of young designers, with the help of LVMH bigwigs Delphine Arnault, Jean-Paul Claverie and Pierre-Yves Roussel, as well as creative directors Nicolas Ghesquière, Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, Phoebe Philo, Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld, Raf Simons, Riccardo Tisci and Jonathan Anderson.

From today until February 8, up-and-coming designers under the age of 40 can apply if they’ve already showed and sold at least two ready-to-wear collections. Recent fashion school grads are also up for their own honor; three lucky, talented young bucks will win €10,000 and work on an LVMH design team for a year. Applications are open for this particular prize from today until May 3. 

At the start of March, 10 finalists will be chosen for the award and in June the winner will be announced. Head over to LVMH’s dedicated prize site to enter and learn more about the competition.
