Inside JW Anderson’s Art-Led Pimlico Road Boutique

JW Anderson is redefining its retail strategy with a new flagship on London’s Pimlico Road.

The store functions as a gallery-hybrid, blending the brand’s ready-to-wear collections with its expanding Home & Garden line. By placing artisanal objects, antiques, and collectible design pieces alongside fashion, Jonathan Anderson aims to celebrate the intrinsic link between the clothes we wear and the spaces we inhabit. It’s a warm, lived-in environment that honors the artistic heritage of its historic neighborhood.

Owenscorp joins a growing list of industry heavyweights—including the CFDA and Condé Nast—moving toward fur-free standards, signaling a permanent change in the brand’s approach to luxury materials and ethical sourcing.
