We are delighted to revisit the gallery’s successful partnership with Jonathan Anderson, one of the world’s most innovative contemporary fashion designers.

The range has been produced to celebrate The Hepworth Wakefield’s 10th anniversary year and consists of a unisex t shirt, tote bag and limited edition pair of earrings.

JW Anderson is a British fashion label, founded in 2008 by Northern Irish designer Jonathan Anderson. The brand initially focused on menswear, before moving into womenswear in 2010. Its unique design aesthetic offers a modern interpretation of masculinity and femininity by creating thought-provoking silhouettes through a conscious cross-pollination of menswear and womenswear elements.
Materials: 100% white cotton, medium weight, natural stretch. Made in Portugal.
Barbara Hepworth (1903–1975) is one of the most important artists of the 20th century. She was at the forefront of multiple avant-garde art movements, with wide-ranging interests that infused her work. Deeply spiritual and passionately engaged with political and technological change, Hepworth focused on the dynamic physical encounter with sculpture and how this could allow the viewer to both reflect on and alter their perceptions and experiences of the world.
