JW Anderson's Oscar Wilde-inspired collection focuses on one line from the poet: "The secret of life is in art.” While [art and fashion often intersect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joy-artist-capsule), it's not as common for literature to serve as the inspiration. That's what makes this collection so unique, as the designer interpreted a visual rendering of a poem.

The collection is comprised of items that have all been embellished with the phrase "The secret of life is in art.” According to the designer, “beautiful things can sometimes just be beautiful.” The [capsule collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-club-collection) offers four ready-to-wear items including oversized shirts and sweaters, alongside a small range of accessories, and [jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment). The exclusive collection is only available through the designer's website.
