JW Anderson x Rembrandt

Jonathan Anderson launches the “Rembrandt” mini-collection inspired by the famous master of the 17th century Dutch School and his self-portraits, which the Irish stylist considers to be the first original selfies. It takes up in particular “the self-portrait with haggard eyes”, which the painter produced in pen and ink in 1630 at the age of 24. This slightly bewildered face with wide-open eyes and pinched mouth peers at us in colorful knitwear and sweatshirts, silk pants and shirts, canvas shoes, as well as a bag and hats.
