concept

Greek mythology, Arthurian legends and fairytales tell about women with supernatural powers who were able to bewitch men. History has seen many women accused of witchcraft just because they were beautiful, wise, or because their qualities stood out, threatening men who represented religion and power. Anya was addressing the history of womenswear, which developed as a reflection of the status of women in society. She also looked at the 2006 underground street fashion scene in London, with its daring mixes of elegant, sporty, clean and dirty clothes. All of these elements were brought together to represent a woman of timeless beauty that can fascinate and enchant whenever she wants to.
