JW Anderson FW2018 Silk Maxi Dress (Rare!)

$600.00
  • Incredibly rare and limited (only 999 made)

  • JW Anderson's Fall/Winter 2018 Ready-to-Wear collection featured several notable silk maxi dresses, most famously this Limited-edition long-sleeved silk maxi dress

The JW Anderson Fall/Winter 2018 Ready-to-Wear (RTW) collection was special for its pragmatic approach to the fashion calendar, its co-ed presentation, and a focus on wearable, everyday pieces that blended military/utilitarian details with a soft, folkish aesthetic. It was a move towards "slow fashion" and commercial viability. 

Key Highlights of the Collection

  • Co-ed Show: It was the first time the label presented its womenswear and menswear collections together on the same runway, a pragmatic decision to consolidate the fashion schedule for buyers and press.

  • A "Slow Fashion" Approach: The collection was part of Jonathan Anderson's effort to slow down the relentless pace of fashion production, moving toward two main runway shows a year with six product drops, allowing more time to work on the creative process.

  • Design Fusion: The collection featured a blend of seemingly disparate elements: military and utilitarian details were softened by a "Little House on the Prairie" folk aesthetic, resulting in a unique, yet highly wearable, look.

  • One of the rare Signature Pieces this collection was the Maxi Dresses which included long, loose maxi dresses with dropped waists and handkerchief hemlines, featuring soft, crinkled or pleated fabrics and ruffles.

  • Marketing Innovation: In an innovative move, the show notes served as entry forms for a competition offering the public the chance to shoot the brand's Spring/Summer 2018 campaign, aiming for a "creative refreshing" and involving the community.
