inspired by memories of holidays in France -the kind of carefree French summers of the popular song ‘C’est si bon!’ (‘It’s so good!’), sung by Eartha Kitt and others.

This summer Anna’s signature feminine designs, such as the now classic Bardot wrap dress, feature quintessentially French fabrics: Indiennes’ cottons bear the Provencal colours and designs – mustard yellows and pinks – that have been synonymous with the South of France since the 17th century, when French artisans first learnt how to produce the kind of printed cottons originally imported from India and Persia.
