Anderson turns his attention towards the way that consumers shop in modern day and realizes that gender boundaries are becoming much more blurred. The Les Hors D'oeuvres installation was a setting for [JW Anderson's latest pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pleasing-and-jw-anderson) that aim to simplify the concept of non-conforming clothing. The entire collection is designed with simplicity in mind and with the reference of the 'great outdoors.' There is a range of militaristic garments, plaid shirts, and handkerchief skirts. To assist in seasonal transition, there are offerings such as knitwear, sequinned dresses, and leather pants. Anderson's signature bag also makes a re-appearance, but with a updated satchel twist.
