About

Accidental Wes Anderson is a series of photographs that display a similar aesthetic to that of motion picture director Wes Anderson, such as spatial symmetry, vibrant colors and classical architecture.

The earliest known example of a grouping of phoographs that resemble the work of Wes Anderson is the "subreddit"/memes/sites/reddit/ /r/AccidentalWesAnderson, which launched on April 27th, 2018 by Redditor[1] simonsarris.

Precursor

Prior to the subreddit, people online would refer to wardrobe and color choices as "Accidental Wes Anderson." On March 3rd, 2015, Instagram [2] user @scottandmel posted an image of a man wearing a red hat, much like the kind found in the Wes Anderson film The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou. He captioned the photo "Accidental Wes Anderson wardrobe."
