I never set out to work on the concept of androgyny. For me, it was more about trying to find a wardrobe that would fundamentally appeal to both men and women: Trying to find the right shirt, the right jeans, the right trouser - but on different landscapes.

Sunspel is about British craft and community - both of which are very important to me.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
What's so important with fashion imagery and with imagery in general is that it ultimately evokes an emotion.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
When I was a kid, I remember the fear of going into big brand stores. You didn't want to go in because you felt like you couldn't afford anything.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
I grew up in Northern Ireland, in the middle of nowhere, and when you are poor, you are really poor. And when you are rich, you are very rich. This is not a new phenomenon.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
Britain and America are two examples where social media will only show you what you like.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
Luxury stores are such a difficult thing because, ultimately, their purpose is to sell, but I do think you can get more out of a store.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
I've realised that when fashion is really good and really challenges and takes a risk, it is incredibly artistically powerful. It makes people dream.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
Sometimes you fall out of love with what you do. Some days, you wake up and wish you worked on a farm.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
We put something on Instagram, and it gets reposted, and it's everywhere, and a minute later it's gone, over. I don't see that as a negative thing; it's the way my mind works, too.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
When I started at Loewe, I took a year out before we did a collection because I felt we needed to work out all the fundamentals. The pencils, the door handles, the style of the press release, the stone of the buildings, the choice of photographer.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
When I do a fashion show, it's not done until it exits out of the door.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
I believe that collaboration is one of the most important things in any field.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
I always think the great thing about shirting is that it goes with jeans, and jeans are probably the most modern, functional garment that ever existed. That is what is so great about shirting - it is an up-play-down-play.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
For me, menswear is an experimental ground to play with something. There is scope to be gained there - you can create a new normality.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
I've collected John Ward pieces for years. Ward represents ideas of nature and of sediments.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
I'm very open about my referencing; I'm very open about who I work with.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
If you do generic things, you know, after a while, brands or designers become stagnated.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
For me, fashion is exciting, and it should be exciting whether you get it wrong or right.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
When I first came to Wakefield Cathedral, I thought, 'How does man conceive to build something like this?' It's a building that has transcended time over the centuries, and you appreciate the magnitude of humankind's power and vision. When you're inside, you feel as though the rest of the world doesn't exist.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
I love collecting things from auction - we Brits really are hoarders and collectors.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
Trend-wise, I hope to keep bringing completely new collections to the industry that will make people think and defy the norm.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
For me, fashion should always be evolving so it remains exciting and unexpected.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
I try to live my life free of regrets, but I do have one style regret that makes me laugh and cringe at the same time. Mum used to dress my brother and me in bright neon bike pants and big baggy t-shirts that were so long you could barely see our bike pants.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
When I became a teenager, I got very into clothing. I remember cutting Gucci advertisements and sticking them on my wall.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
When I was younger, we went to Ibiza a lot because my parents bought an apartment there. I feel like that has always stuck with me.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
I was very into swimming, but I was never into contact sports. I think it was because I knew I wasn't going to get damaged.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
The minute you see that everything is going one way, you get the hell out.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
I feel like if you have balance in life, you have to be consumed by your job because, ultimately, it will never be a job; it will never be something that you feel you're working on.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
I find it very difficult to see the boundary between womenswear and menswear. It's bizarre the ways in which society reacts; they find it difficult to comprehend seeing parts of the body on a man. I think it's fascinating.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
I would say I work very emotionally: I have a very compulsive way of working, where I love something to the moment I am sick of it. I have no addiction outside of work, so my addiction is that process.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
I love the immediacy of Instagram. My feed really is my train of thought. If I'm really excited about something, I'll just put it up.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
I think ceramics are so amazing because they're incredibly educational - you can buy something made in the 14th century, and it looks like it was made yesterday. There's something to be learned there, and ceramics can tell you the history of the time because they're functional vessels, ultimately.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
I always love to look at something that I couldn't make, because I feel it's enlightening. It means you are not invincible: you can respect something and look up to it and go, 'Wow!' It's a skill that I don't have, but I can understand the merit of it.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
I could binge-eat cheese - I love any blue cheese. Make it strong; make it deadly.
Quote by -Jonathan Anderson
Whether I'm at home in London or in Paris for Loewe, I always like to walk to work.
