Anya Hindmarch Counter Culture Autumn/Winter 2014 Collection

Fashion these days is all about innovation and creativeness. Afterall, celebrities are often regarded as frontliners & trendsetters in the industry since they are given the privilege to view the latest collection by a particular designer. Once they are spotted wearing a particular design, there's where the trend starts to sip in. Are you the type that follows the latest trends or simply be your own stylist? I must say I'm a risk taker and would do both. It will always be fun to play mix & match and you'll be surprised with the end result.

Anya Hindmarch has always been one of my favourite designer brands. With it's sophisticated designs and trademark ribbon logo, it has been with us in Malaysia for 10 years and still counting. The brand originated from London and is gaining worldwide recognition. From the likes of Olivia Palermo (fashion blogger & celebrity), Poppy Delevinge ( British supermodel) to Alexa Chung (London's fashion icon) were spotted at the front row at London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2014. The collection is very unique and revolves around the household & childhood memories. Counter Culture is the theme for the collection. And I'm sure you'll agree with me that it's pretty quirky & one of a kind. Who would have thought our infamous household necessities from washing powders to breakfast cereals to digestive biscuits would take center stage and become the highlight for the season? Remember Tony the Tiger, Kelloggs Cornflakes & Cocopops? The feel good breakfast cereal brand that kept us awake & energized? Models were seen walking down the runway in supermarket conveyor belts showcasing the latest designs and making grocery shopping seem effortlessly chic and trendy. Also, there were lots of tassels and colours to play with. Afterall, who says autumn/winter has to be all dull and depressing? A fusion of colours and exquisite craftmanship represents the collection. The crisp packet clutch is another highlight worth mentioning. Made infamous by celebrity singer songwriter, Solange Knowles at the MET Gala. It comes with a detachable chain strap which can be worn across the body or on the shoulder. It is specially crafted with the finest workmanship from a group of renowned Italian artisans. These are some of the highlights for the season, not forgetting the classics, such as the featherweight ebury, maxi zip satchel, the albion and the crazy belvedere.

Anya Hindmarch Malaysia threw a private luncheon for the media, VIPs and invited guests to view the Official Launch of Counter Culture Autumn/Winter 2014 Collection at Hilton KL recently. I was invited and amazed by everything, from the backdrop to the props and presentation. As I walked into the ballroom, I was greeted by Tony, the tiger beaming with excitement. :)

Who can resist a pose with our friendly tiger? :)
