J.W Anderson SS 2011 “The Devoured And I”

J.W. Anderson continues his exploration of youth sub-cultures with his Spring/Summer 2011 collection entitled “The Devoured And I”. It documents the intimacy and journey of two people as they experiment and get lost in self-discovery – and subsequently the fallout and consequences of this. An ongoing theme of Anderson is the apparent contradiction of our experiences, in this case the blinding color and then darkness, the heat and cold sweat, the liberation and oppression.
