In a video dialogue with Amanda Harlech, Karl Lagerfeld’s longtime right-hand woman Jonathan (J.W.) Anderson discusses definitions of collaboration. There, the young London-based designer and founder of his own acclaimed, eponymous menswear and womenswear lines who collaborated with Topshop and Versus in the past, speaks words of truths which are our quote of the day: ”You can’t always give, give, give and you can’t always take, take, take. It has to be about the balance of the two things.”

Keep these words in mind as we try very hard to suit the action to the word.

Watch the short film “On Collaboration: Amanda Harlech x Jonathan Anderson” which was directed by Johnnie Shand-Kydd here.
