Net-A-Porter launches JW Anderson exclusives as JWA also opens Galeries Lafayette pop-up
Published
October 7, 2025
It was always odds on that Jonathan Anderson’s JW Anderson label would see lots of change with the designer’s hands very full due to his responsibilities at Dior, but nobody could accuse him of neglecting JWA.
Last month saw the reopening of its Soho, London store, “marking a key milestone in its rebranding journey” and this week has seen two more key developments.
The SS26 collection has debuted (very early) on Net-A-Porter and includes eight styles completely exclusive to the e-tailer alongside the wider collection. The pre-launch is happening a month ahead of its arrival with other retailers. Some pieces have already sold out within a few hours.
We’re told the collection is a “study in novelty, craft and curation, the three cornerstones of Jonathan Anderson’s creative vocabulary”. It “champions embellishment, print and colour, presented through signature house codes and fresh interpretations”.
The pieces include silk knot dresses, whimsical knits – including the novelty ‘Pig’ Fairisle – and intricately embellished mini dresses. Exclusive accessories “expand on this playful spirit with collectible novelty charms” – including a pigeon style – and bright scarves in exclusive colourways, “designed to add fun to everyday styling”.
Net-A-Porter’s chief buying and merchandising officer Brigitte Chartrand said: “We have always loved Anderson’s ability to make fashion fun while pushing the boundaries of craft and creativity.”
Meanwhile, the label has just unveiled a dedicated pop-up space at Galeries Lafayette Paris, “marking the debut of the brand’s new visual identity”. Anderson’s label is clearly enjoying a higher profile in France given the designer’s role at Dior.
Open only until 15 October, the pop-up is the “first and only” Paris location to present JW Anderson’s refreshed brand vision and includes the Loafer bag as well as other exclusive product available for purchase on-site.
A permanent shop-in-shop on the second floor has also been totally redesigned, featuring the complete women’s collection.
Like the London store, the space has been designed by architects Sanchez Benton, “to bring to life the new JW Anderson in an ambience that is enveloping and familiar; a grammar of warm materials and colours that embodies a feeling of the handmade and beautifully crafted”.

The CFDA x NY Forward Grant Fund, developed with funding from both the New York State Department of State and Ralph Lauren Corporation (Ralph Lauren), will provide partially matching grants to designers and manufacturers based in New York City’s Garment District. The U.S. Fashion Manufacturing Fund, created with Ralph Lauren as founding partner, will support apparel manufacturers nationwide. Both programs aim to help companies to modernize equipment, expand services, and train workers – building the capacity and resilience of American fashion manufacturing.
CFDA has launched two new grant programmes with Ralph Lauren to strengthen American fashion manufacturing.
The CFDA x NY Forward Grant Fund will support New York City’s Garment District, while the US Fashion Manufacturing Fund will aid manufacturers nationwide, focusing on modernisation, workforce training, innovation and long-term industry resilience.
These programs build on the success of the CFDA’s Fashion Manufacturing Initiative (FMI), launched in 2013 in affiliation with the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), Andrew Rosen, and with the long-term support of Ralph Lauren, among others. To date, Ralph Lauren has contributed $2 million as FMI’s Premier Underwriter, enabling grants to 54 factories and positively impacting more than 2,000 jobs.
“Strengthening American manufacturing to ensure designers have local partners has long been at the core of CFDA’s mission,” said Steven Kolb, CEO and President of the CFDA. “We are proud to extend our decade-plus work with Ralph Lauren Corporation and expand to a national level while also continuing our local NYC investments alongside our first-ever partnership with the New York State Department of State.”
Together, these new grant programs mark a landmark commitment: sustaining New York’s Garment District while bolstering U.S. manufacturing nationwide — ensuring that American fashion continues to lead globally through innovation, craftsmanship and community.
“Our expanded partnership with the CFDA reflects Ralph Lauren’s enduring commitment to advancing innovation and supporting American fashion,” said Katie Ioanilli, Chief Global Impact & Communications Officer, Ralph Lauren Corporation. “This is not only an investment in our industry — it’s an investment in a vital part of American culture that we share with the world.”

Economic momentum remained strong at the end of 2025, with real GDP expanding 8.4 per cent year on year (YoY) in the fourth quarter, the fastest pace in several years. Growth was driven by robust export-oriented industrial production. Credit growth surged to 19.4 per cent YoY by December, well above deposit growth of 14 per cent, SBV said in a release.
Vietnam’s interbank rates, which rose sharply in late 2025, are expected to ease in 2026 as credit growth and economic momentum cool.
GDP expanded 8.4 per cent year on year in Q4, while credit growth of 19.4 per cent outpaced deposits.
Despite a strong 2025, US tariff risks remain.
The SBV is likely to keep rates steady while targeting slower credit growth.
While Vietnam enters 2026 on a positive footing after achieving an estimated 8 per cent growth in 2025, external risks remain significant for the export-driven economy. Goods exports to the US, which account for around 30 per cent of the total, face the lagged impact of 20 per cent reciprocal tariffs, uncertainty over transshipment duties, and the risk of additional sectoral measures, including possible semiconductor levies.
Monetary authorities have signalled a cautious policy stance for 2026 despite an official GDP growth target of 10 per cent, which analysts view as difficult to achieve. Growth is expected to moderate to around 6.5 per cent, while the SBV has set a lower credit growth target of 15 per cent to limit overheating and resource misallocation risks.
The refinancing rate is expected to remain unchanged at 4.50 per cent, though the possibility of an unexpected rate hike cannot be ruled out if liquidity strains persist.
