Harry Styles’ lifestyle and beauty brand, Pleasing has once again surprised his followers with a new collection in collaboration with luxury brand, JW Anderson. This duo has come together to create clothing, accessories, and nail polishes that tie in both of the brands’ personalities. However, this collaboration shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise since the English pop singer once wore a color-blocked patchwork cardigan from JW Anderson in 2020 that became viral and is now a fashion historical item preserved at The Victoria and Albert Museum. So, if you are still looking for Christmas shopping ideas, you may want to see what this new Pleasing x JW Anderson collection has to offer.

How the Collaboration Came To Be
The English pop star and Irish fashion designer teamed up for this collaboration as a result of a fashion-fueled friendship. This is proved to be true because in 2020, Harry Styles rocked JW Anderson’s color-blocked patchwork cardigan on The Today Show which has become one of Styles’ most iconic fashion looks throughout his entire career. It even inspired one of the pieces in the collection, the Bunch of Balloons Knit Cardigan — which is a playful reinterpretation of the signature cardigan. The piece is hand-knitted in a cream colorway decorated with a vibrant bouquet of technicolor balloons.

Titled Precious Metals, other items that are featured in the collection include a four-piece polish set with deep-based tones with shades: Best in Show, Stomping on Sunshine, How Does Your Garden Grow, and Feel Free To Say Hi. There is also an additional nail polish called Chirp Loud, Live Proud coming in a pink-red shade that gives a high-shine and metallic finish.

As for clothing, we see a signature Pleasing sweatshirt with a shiny mylar star — a JW Anderson calling card — doting the “i.” The “Bunch of Balloons” patterns make a return on a t-shirt, long-sleeved shirt, and semi-sheer t-shirt.
Of course, no collection is complete without some accessories — so Pleasing x JW Anderson designed a Bumper 15 bag (sold out), bag charm, and sparkly leather penis keyrings in purple and yellow.
