| Gallery label | Recreating everyday objects as wearable pieces is a staple of British designer Anya Hindmarch. In this collection, she turned the idea of designer bags on its head by choosing very recognisable and popular British products, such as Daz washing powder or Dairy Milk chocolates, transforming them into something desirable and fashionable.
