Cloth Dripping
A single piece of cloth is wrapped and draped around the body, it holds and caresses, smooths and flows, a waterfall sweeps down the back. The simple geometry of a length of fabric becomes dynamic as it is allowed to drip, to drape and interact with the wearer.
The Anon. Women collection is designed to be the building blocks of a woman's wardrobe; timeless pieces that are chic and effortless. Stunning separates that can be mixed and matched - styled according to the wearer's life and personality. Clothes that are well considered and nuanced to work with a woman's body - that hold where she needs to be held and forgive what needs to be forgiven. Fabrics that are rich and sensual to the touch: silk, linen, wool, waxed cotton. Clothes with value, that will work for the wearer, day to night, work to weekend. Clothes that allow the woman to speak for herself.

Things I Love:
People with elegance and style that comes from a strong core, a knowledge and love of self.
The sweeping grace of Richard Serra's arcs; The tactile elegance of Barbra Hepworth's sculpture; The Genius and sensuality of Brancusi's eggs; The honesty and integrity of Van der Rohe's Architecture.
A dancers body caught in motion; The ripple and breath of silk; The luxury of cashmere; The touch of somebody you love.
The smell of new shoes, of a light match, of freshly sanded wood of new books; The feel of beautiful paper, thick and creamy; The sensation of fresh linens as you hop into bed; Days when the air is cool and the sky is blue; The quality of twlight, the way objects and colours morph and change.
The imperfections in life which reveal true beauty.
