Renowned for her bold, often humorous works that incorporate references from art, design, fashion and popular culture, Hamilton has exhibited widely with large-scale, site-specific installations. These include her Turner Prize-nominated Lichen! Libido! Chastity! at the SculptureCenter in New York (which was restaged at Tate Britain in 2016) and Anthea Hamilton Reimagines Kettle's Yard at The Hepworth Wakefield in Yorkshire, England.

Anderson is the perfect partner for Hamilton. The young designer founded JW Anderson in 2008 after graduating from the London College of Fashion, then became Loewe's creative director in 2013. Anderson's work often explores gender fluidity. He recently curated an exhibition based around such themes for Disobedient Bodies at The Hepworth Wakefield. For that show, he also included sculptures by Henry Moore, Sarah Lucas and Barbara Hepworth to show how artists depict form through their work. He also created an installation of oversized jumpers that visitors could put on to transform their own bodies into abstract forms.
