# Asymmetrical Wrap Attire J.W. Anderson Uses Strong Silhouettes in His 2014 Menswear Fashion Show By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-06-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2014-menswear-fashion-show References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2013/6/j-w-anderson-2014-spring-summer-collection) & [j-w-anderson](http://j-w-anderson.co.uk/index.php) In his Spring/Summer 2014 menswear fashion show, designer J.W. Anderson unveils a collection of strongly shaped silhouettes that are bold yet minimalist in their execution. Many of the garments feature a wraparound style that sits comfortably on the wearer, letting those rare wisps of cool summer breeze flow through the fabric. Wearers also have the flexibility to play with the way the clothes drape across their body so that each look can be customized and styled according to individual preference. With such [strong shapes and asymmetry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digawel-springsummer-2026), the clothing in the J.W. Anderson Spring/Summer 2014 menswear fashion show stays wearable and minimalist by focusing on a strict regimen of [three neutral colors - black, white](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) and hints of beige as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Asymmetrical Fashion:** Asymmetrical design and wraparound styles create unique and customizable fashion options for consumers. - **Bold Minimalism:** Strongly shaped silhouettes with limited color palettes provide consumers with fashion options that are both bold and minimalist. - **Customizable Clothing:** Clothing that can be draped and customized to individual preference provides a unique and personal fashion experience for consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Asymmetrical fashion and bold minimalist designs can disrupt existing fashion norms and provide growth opportunities for fashion companies. - **Textiles:** The use of unique shapes and customizable draping in clothing designs can inspire innovation in textile manufacturing and production processes. - **Retail:** Customizable clothing and unique designs can provide retailers with opportunities to offer personalized shopping experiences and stand out from competitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [seasonal spring wardrobes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-watersports-collegiate-prep.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Laid-Back Modernwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digawel-springsummer-2026.md) - [Modern Tailored Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphpaper-ss26.md) - [Understated Spring-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein.md) - [Minimalist Gallery Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-springsummer-2024.md) - [Monochrome Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25.md) - [Measured Winter Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-fw26.md)
