Wildly creative, English designer Anya Hindmarch rose to fame for her eponymous label that relied largely on her business sense and sharp eye for design, as proven by the start of her career. After landing in Italy and finding a stylish bag she'd seen Italian women sport, she imported it to the United Kingdom despite the recession at the time, and went on to sell hundreds of units. Known for her unique approach to design, careful practice of craftsmanship, and her incorporation of humor into her aesthetic, Hindmarch has evolved into a full-fledged designer, displaying an admirable—and rare—fearlessness in unleashing her creative spirit.
