Guinness has launched its second fashion collection with designer JW Anderson after seeing overwhelming consumer demand for their inaugural collaboration two years ago.

The 17-piece collection, the company said, is rooted in a rich shared narrative of craft and heritage, drawing inspiration from the traditional Irish pub.

Actor Joe Alwyn and rapper Little Simz front the campaign for the limited edition collection, which includes chore jackets, dungarees, and JW Anderson’s signature twisted jeans inspired by Guinness’ vintage brewery uniforms.

Inspired by the intricacy of the Guinness brewing process, the brand’s own archives, celebrated vintage advertising, and the quintessential Irish pub atmosphere, the collection’s launch coincides with a natural peak in interest in Irish culture.

A white shirt draws from the Guinness archives, featuring a poem first printed in a 1938 Guinness advertisement, evoking the brand’s enduring relationship with storytelling and culture.

Innovative fabrication forms a cornerstone of the collection, directly referencing the spaces where Guinness is enjoyed. The familiar textures of pub carpets and bar towels are masterfully translated into jacquards, appliqué, and intricate embroidered finishes, creating an immersive, sensorial experience.

Bespoke towelling, for instance, reimagines the traditional Guinness beer mat, transforming this recognisable pub texture into refined pieces like the distinctive towelling jacket and shorts, offering tactile, unexpected luxury.

The Guinness Gradient Jumper, inspired by the iconic settling head of a pint, features gradient yarn placement in intarsia, with a soft alpaca blend creating a fuzzy texture reminiscent of creamy foam, evoking the sensory experience of the perfect pint.

Jonathan Anderson, creative director and founder of JW Anderson, commented on the evolution: “I’ve always been fascinated by the graphic language of Guinness — it’s so immediate, so culturally loaded, yet incredibly refined. For me, this collaboration felt like an opportunity to take that heritage and recontextualise it through the craft-led lens that defines JW Anderson today.”

Stephen O’Kelly, global brand director at Guinness, added: “This collaboration with JW Anderson is truly special, and we believe it will deeply resonate with our global community. Jonathan’s vision for this collection beautifully translates Guinness’s enduring commitment to craft and quality into something tangible and exciting for our consumers.

“It’s an opportunity for them to connect with our shared Irish roots, express their individual style, and literally wear a piece of our combined legacy of craft and innovation. We are incredibly excited for everyone to discover and make this unique collection their own.”

The collection is available to purchase from JW Anderson locations in London, Milan and Tokyo and at jwanderson.com as well Brown Thomas in Dublin and select retailers:
