《Anya Hindmarch @ SS2012》

Anya Hindmarch SS2012 inspirations comes from the fascination with hidden London and a love of the forgotten history of the capital. Having come across an exhibition whilst strolling past Baker Street tube station.Fascinated with "Lost and Found" objects and in particular a beautiful but battered doctor;s bag which had been left on the tube. This inspiration led to the creation of the seasonal showroom at the abandoned strand tube station as well as the design of the collection's hero style ~ The Bruton.

Attention to details is once again showcased with the anthracite metal "Peepholes"giving the bag a quirky twist. This is set to be an Anya Hindmarch classic.
