Dear Shaded Viewers,
Harry Styles’ Pleasing and JW Anderson have unveiled a highly anticipated collaboration that seamlessly merges the playful spirit of Pleasing with the innovative design aesthetic of JW Anderson. Both Styles and Jonathan Anderson, long-time friends and collaborators, have joined forces to create a vibrant and playful collection. Together with their teams, they designed a range of pieces that celebrate individuality and self-expression, aiming to bring joy to their communities.
The Pleasing x JW Anderson capsule collection features a range of apparel, accessories, and nail polishes, reimagining iconic pieces from each brand with a unique twist, including the iconic JW Anderson Bumper Bag in an exclusive colourway, adorned with both logos. Additionally, there are glittering keyrings in purple and yellow, chrome balloon keyrings made from recycled silicone, and the eye-catching Bunch of Balloons Knit Cardigan.
The knitwear in the collection pays homage to the iconic JW Anderson Patchwork Cardigan worn by Harry Styles, now on display at the V&A. Crafted using similar techniques, the cardigan is adorned with a vibrant bouquet of balloons, symbolising the playful spirit shared by both brands. The collaboration also introduces new iterations of Pleasing’s iconic nail polishes. A special edition four-piece polish set and a fifth individual shade mark JW Anderson’s debut into the beauty world. To complete the collection, five limited-edition, foil-wrapped Pleasing Polish shades offer a touch of glamour.
“Founded on the back of friendship and mutual respect, this is one of our most special collaborations to date. JW Anderson is a brand we feel so aligned with in terms of point of view, creativity and energy – and has been a brand we’ve wanted to collaborate with for some time” Hary Lambert, Creative Director of Pleasing says in a statement.
The collection is available from today, with prices ranging from £20 to £850. Pleasing x JW Anderson can be purchased online via Pleasing.com and Jwanderson.com, as well as in-store at select JW Anderson stores and at Pleasing’s New York and LA pop ups.
Later,
Bethany
