If you were to compile a list of the hottest designers in fashion, Jonathan Anderson would have to be really close to the top. The young Brit collected both the menswear and the womenswear prizes at the recent British Fashion Awards ("I was embarrassed because it must have looked maxi-greedy," he told Business of Fashion) and between the chic ruffles and upbeat colors in his London-based signature line, J.W.Anderson, and his retooling of Spain's luxury it-bags-and-more brand Loewe, he's not just a designer and a creative director, he's an international force.

Which is probably why Spain's coolest publisher wanted to do a book with him. That volume, comprising 130 pages of collections, collaborations and more, was released yesterday at one of Anderson's "workshops" (more on that in a moment) in the East End neighborhood of Shoreditch.

As Anderson said in the recent Business of Fashion article, he's all about the pioneering early 20th-century Omega Workshops, which encouraged artists and writers and others to cross-pollinate and create and sell really killer work. It's a concept that sounds a bit simple these days because we're so accustomed to artist/brand team-ups and pop-up shops. But for Anderson, key to his adaptation of all that is exploring culture and personalization.

You could probably explore a little personalization with the stickers and the poster that come inside his new book. It's on sale on Anderson's site now.
