Jonathan Anderson has found a new residence in Hollywood.

The Loewe fashion designer, who has been making significant strides in the film industry as a costume designer through multiple collaborations with director Luca Guadagnino, has signed with UTA for representation.

The announcement of Anderson joining the agency follows shortly after he received the top honor of the night—designer of the year—at the British Fashion Council’s Fashion Awards in London. He triumphed over notable designers such as Chloé’s Chemena Kamali, Maison Margiela’s John Galliano, Miu Miu’s Miuccia Prada, Alaïa’s Pieter Mulier, and Rick Owens for his eponymous label. “I love fashion,” Anderson expressed while accepting the award. “It motivates me to rise every morning.”

Anderson certainly doesn’t have a habit of hitting the snooze button. He juggles a demanding workload as the creative director of Loewe while also overseeing his own fashion label, JW Anderson, which he established in 2008 at the young age of 24. The Northern Ireland native developed his brand to such an extent that LVMH approached him in 2013, acquiring a minority stake. Subsequently, Anderson was appointed as the creative director of the Spanish brand Loewe. Over the past decade, he has transformed Loewe into one of the most talked-about brands in fashion, known for its innovative designs that range from humorous and surreal to expertly tailored, alongside a roster of prominent ambassadors and imaginative campaigns.

In addition to winning the Fashion Awards trophy, which he also earned last year, Anderson’s accolades include being recognized as one of Time’s 100 most influential people, CFDA’s international designer of the year, and GQ’s designer of the year. He was also the honorary chair of this year’s Met Gala, which was sponsored by Loewe. His collaborations with Guadagnino include the film Queer, currently in theaters featuring Daniel Craig (also a Loewe ambassador), and Challengers starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist.

When talent agencies confirm new clients, they typically refrain from making statements; however, UTA issued a comment from partner and board member Blair Kohan, suggesting Anderson’s significant standing in the industry. Kohan hinted that Anderson may soon transition from costume design to other storytelling mediums.

“We are thrilled and honored to welcome Jonathan to UTA. He is an incredibly talented designer whose visionary contributions have influenced fashion and culture for over a decade,” Kohan stated. “We are eager to support him as he broadens his creative impact across various storytelling avenues, building upon his already remarkable achievements.”
