Frederick Anderson Launches Men’s Collection

Frederick Anderson, who has built a strong business in contemporary luxury womenswear, is taking the plunge into men’s.

The designer who won the Rising Star Award for Womenswear from Fashion Group International in 2022 has partnered with Danielle Darah, founder of Maison Limonelle, a lifestyle consultancy for menswear, wellness, home and travel targeted to high-net-worth individuals, on the inaugural collection.

The men’s line mirrors the essence of Anderson’s women’s collection, which has been described as sexy, modern and forward-thinking. The debut collection is targeted to men who are confident and have an elevated sense of personal style.

“It’s an obvious extension. I’m already dressing the mother-daughter combination. What about dad,” Anderson said. “This collection is for the man who appreciates tailoring, understands luxury and embraces forward-thinking ideas in dressing — masculine, chic and entirely modern.”

The collection features suits crafted in partnership with Scabal, the British fabric manufacturer and Savile Row tailor, along with luxury separates, premium leathers, laces, crocheted pieces and knits. Anderson described the aesthetic of the line as “chic uncompromising luxury.”

The Frederick Anderson Menswear Collection will be sold online and presented through exclusive shopping events nationwide and online.

Andersonbegan his fashion career 25 years ago as a partner in Anderson Hannant Inc. and produced the womenswear collection Douglas Hannant. He launched his eponymous collection in 2018.

In April 2024, he opened a flagship boutique located in the NoMad neighborhood of Manhattan, and in December of that year he presented his first destination show in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In July the designer was a featured subject of the Emmy-Award winning docuseries, “Human Footprint” on PBS. Anderson is also credited with launching the “Blue Jacket Fashion Show” initiative in 2016 as an answer to the CFDA Fashion Fights Breast Cancer initiative. The Blue Jacket Fashion Show is centered around prostate cancer awareness and the importance of regular screenings and testing.
