Smartphone style hits catwalk at J.W. Anderson show

An inescapable feature of modern life, the instantly recognizable motifs of mobile phone applications inspired British designer Jonathan Anderson's London Fashion Week show last Sunday, with his brash embroidered creations lighting up the catwalk.

Anderson, whose daring collections have earned him a reputation as one of the rising stars of the fashion industry, presented the autumn-winter 2017 collection by his own label, J.W. Anderson, using the colorful square logos that fill up smartphone screens around the world as a muse.

To the sound of throbbing electro music, the models paraded on the catwalk sporting blocks of brightly embroidered and crocheted patterns on sweaters, wide scarves, shoes and backpacks.
