The History: Timeline to LVMH
The company history dates back to 2008 when Jonathan Anderson founded JW Anderson. It quickly became a significant voice. It launched with a Menswear line first. He was instantly successful in the luxury fashion field. In 2010, JW Anderson decided to move into Womenswear. Success here was critical.
The brand’s strong position was cemented by an investment from LVMH in 2013. The partnership also allowed Anderson to take the creative helm at Loewe.
