JW Anderson Designs 'Queer' Merch For Close Collaborator Luca Guadagnino
The LOEWE creative director and designer is credited for costume design in Guadagnino’s ‘Queer’ and ‘Challengers.’
JW Anderson has released a special line of merch inspired by Luca Guadagnino‘s newly released film Queer, which Jonathan Anderson famously lent his creative design vision to. Since Anderson was Guadagnino’s selected costume designer for both Queer and Challengers, the designer was arguably the fitting choice for the latest movie’s merch line.
The collection includes a run of bold-colored graphic tees, sweatshirts, hoodies, and accessories printed with Guadagnino’s signature handwritten movie graphics and imagery from the film. Standing out are the high saturation jersey crewnecks in kelly green, tangerine orange and hot pink, each with the text “Queer, Directed by Luca Guadagnino.“
Elsewhere a blue crewneck shows a still of stars Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey on the beach, and a heather grey hoodie features the quote “I want to talk to you… without speaking,” from the movie. Those who haven’t seen the film might miss the subtle reference featured in the short-sleeve grey tee printed with a trompe l’oeil centipede charm–”a symbol of transformation in the film,” according to JW Anderson.
Finally, the BFC’s Designer of the Year winner tops off the collection with off-white “Queer” canvas tote bags and titular embroidered caps in navy and khaki.
The full JW Anderson x Queer Collection is available for pre-order today at the brand’s web store and is set to ship by December 22.
