I’m not typically so moved my collaborations as I was with this one. This morning, Harry Styles and Irish fashion designer Jonathan Anderson unveiled a sexy little collaboration they put together right ahead of the holidays, teasing the launch with photos of them looking at preliminary designs earlier this spring. Pleasing x JW Anderson is here.
Jonathan Anderson and Harry Styles are each one of the most hardest working artists in their respective fields. Styles wrapped up one of the longest tours ever, has taken few real breaks from writing, promoting, and performing. Anderson is the creative director of his own brand, JW Anderson, as well as of Loewe. On top of that, he’s the head of of costume for Luca Guadagnino’s latest film Queer, plus was a wardrobe consultant on Challengers. So they’ve got their schedules busy. But they’re also both visionaries, so of course, they’re busy. Anderson is one of my personal favorite designers working right now, and his visual world is incredibly rich and bright and full of references, and the same can be said about Styles, which is why this collab is so perfect.
The collection features apparel and beauty. The collection is called Precious Metals, per the website. The four-piece nail set in the collection features a pale gold, a dark, inky purple, a gunmetal gray, and a copper. In addition, there’s a metallic pink shade that’s sold as a single. The apparel offerings include a mesh long-sleeve balloon print shirt (very familiar if you’re a Jonathan Anderson fan), a balloon cardigan, some sweatshirts, t-shirts, leather penis keychains, and two bags, one of which is already sold out.
Harry Lambert, stylist of Harry Styles and creative director of Pleasing, said, “As a stylist, I’ve had the joy and privilege of working with Jonathan over the years, and so has Harry. The design process was inspiring, creative, and considered. We hope this collection brings our two communities as much happiness as it brought us when creating it.”
The collection is available to shop now.
