The Fashion Plate Magazine

Anya Susannah Hindmarch is an English fashion designer who founded an eponymous company straight out of school in 2001 at aged 18. The international sensation has built a reputation for her architectural style designs that elevates her collections to an art form.

For Spring 2017 Anya Hindmarch showcased a high-end sportswear collection with a focus on circular geometries, leveled planes, burrowing nautili, and floating discs.

“It started with the power of the circle. It’s a rather spiritual sort of shape.” -Anya Hindmarch shared with the press

The “summer neoprene” outerwear was a big focus with trendy cut-out shoulders, and all featuring leather pieces that formed banded pattern strips around the lining of a deep pocket; arcing over the shoulder; shooting down the sleeve.

“Those accents are made without stitching,” she said, “It’s a traditional technique, actually—they’re held together by heat pressing.”

For Hindmarch’s handbags the designer proposed a new shape, dubbed The Stack, with multiple compartments that were color-coded in an ombré scheme. Stack styles will come with a handle on both sides of the body, so they can be flipped as needed. Additionally, more of those leather shape-bands were also applied to neat fold over top handles and “Barrel” duffels, some of which were rendered in glitter.
