JW Anderson | Men's Autumn Winter and Women's Pre-Fall 2024

A domestic fantasy, triggered by seeing the interiors in Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes wide shut: the curtains, the reds, the paintings hanging on the walls, which were created by Christiane Kubrick, the director’s wife, who often collaborated with her husband. These colorful figurative depictions, although in the background, were integral to the psychology of the scenes, and are now essential to the imagery of the collection.

What was in the background comes to the fore in ways that are both cozy and perverse. Velvet and satin. Padding and drapes. Loungewear and stilettos. Christiane Kubrick’s pictures are printed on knitwear; sometimes, a single subject is split across three different long dresses.

Furnishing fabrics and arrangements turn into clothing. Puffy cardigans and bloomers with satin linings peeping out like cushions or curtains. As seen from a wide angle, blazers are blown up and out of scale, shirts are distorted with humongous sleeves, trousers, jumpers are over scaled. The body is trapped in oddly placed sleeves. Textures are juxtaposed.

Tassels on high heels, loafers with enormous tassels.

Weird and perversely domestic, plush and padded, everything is off.

A sense of suffocation, in a cinematic situation.
