Anya Hindmarch has signed on as the non-executive director of the British Fashion Council. She takes over the role from Hilary Riva, the former director of Rubicon, who stepped down late last month.
The British Fashion Council is responsible for organizing London Fashion Week, managing the British Fashion Awards, and overseeing the next generation of Brit fashion designers at the Colleges Council.
I can see Anya excelling in this role as she clearly knows plenty about the fashion industry. After all, she started her own bag business at the tender age of 19 and she’s currently got 54 stores around the globe under her belt.
It seems that the British Fashion Council is similarly enthusiastic to have her on board.
“Anya will make a great addition to our team,” confirmed the council’s chairman, Harold Tillman. “She brings with her huge experience from both the design and retail sector and will be invaluable as we move towards with our future plans.“
I’m really looking forward to seeing what Anya does with the role. How do you think she’ll perform at her new post?
