Watch Jonathan Anderson in Conversation With Reggie Yates at Vogue’s Forces of Fashion Summit
The creative director of Loewe and JW Anderson on the power of collaboration, the role that conflict plays in his work and life, and how we should redefine the notion of luxury….


Jonathan Anderson, creative director of Loewe and JW Anderson, has become one of the most influential designers of his generation by putting design at the intersection of fashion and culture. So it only makes sense that he would choose the Victoria and Albert museum, one of London’s most storied cultural institutions, as the backdrop for his appearance at this year’s Forces of Fashion conference. As Anderson puts it quite succinctly, “I don’t work for a fashion brand, I work for a cultural brand.”
Over the course of his conversation with British actor and presenter Reggie Yates, Anderson unpacks the unorthodox nature of his creative process, and expounds on what it means to work with some of his creative heroes—the likes of celebrated British artists Gilbert and George and, more recently, American ceramicist Ken Price. For this designer, collaboration is very much “a learning tool.”
Anderson opens up about his experiences growing up amid the troubles in Northern Ireland in the 1980s and 1990s, talking candidly about the role that conflict and confrontation has played in his work and life. Part of a new guard of millennial creatives, he understands the importance of disruption and speaks on how we can radically redefine the notion of luxury.
Watch Anderson and a host of other fashion luminaries—Virgil Abloh, Sarah Burton, Alber Elbaz among others—at Vogue’s virtual Forces of Fashion summit.

A$AP Rocky Turned An Entire Manchester City Kit Into His Album Rollout
A$AP Rocky doesn’t do album rollouts quietly, and this one recruited an entire Premier League club to help. Manchester City, PUMA, and Rocky teamed up on a limited apparel run tied to “Don’t Be Dumb,” his 2026 album, timed around his September 5th show at Co-op Live.
The centerpiece is a long-sleeve PUMA King jersey in black and archive gold, with “DON’T BE DUMB” running down the sleeve and AWGE branding worked in throughout. A bold “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back. Fans could also add limited “A$AP 11” name-and-number printing onto the club’s actual Home, Away, or Third kits, while supplies lasted at retail.
There’s a players-only version too, and it never went up for sale. That one sticks closer to City’s usual sky-blue identity, with its own sleeve detailing and back graphic — the kind of piece that exists purely because a handful of people got lucky.
The whole rollout kicked off with a one-night pop-up on September 4th, when PUMA turned a spot in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into a pop-up cafe for the night, mixing football, music, and street style into one room before the wider release hit the stadium store the next morning. Some of those jerseys even came with golden tickets to the concert or that Saturday’s match.
Rocky has called the project true to his own design language, and it’s not even his only club collaboration this cycle — a similar drop with AC Milan landed around the same time. At this point, the line between fashion week and matchday has basically disappeared.

Quavo And Lids Are Going All In On Atlanta With Their New Cap Pack
Quavo has never been shy about his hat obsession, and Lids just gave him another outlet for it. Their new “Atlanta” pack drops September 12th, marking another round in a partnership that’s been running strong since 2019.
The collection is a love letter to the city, spread across three very different caps. One mashes up pinstripes, script lettering, and Braves branding into a single design, working navy, red, white, and light blue into the mix. Another goes the opposite direction entirely — fully iced out in crystal detailing, done up in black and red, with both the Falcons and the Braves showing up in the design. The third strips things back to an old-school “ATL” trucker cap in red, white, and gold, the kind of understated piece that lets the city’s name do the talking.
None of this is new territory for Quavo. He’s talked before about waiting on hat releases as a kid, and that same excitement seems to be what’s kept this partnership going years past most celebrity collabs. His earlier Lids run leaned on one moment — the Braves’ 1995 World Series win — but this pack pulls from the city’s whole sports history instead of just one highlight.
Lids has called Quavo one of the rare voices who can blend music, fashion, and sports without it feeling forced, and this drop backs that up. Given how fast his past releases have moved, Atlanta might want to set an alarm for September 12th.
