From one of the Vogue Business 100 Innovators List - 2023, comes a remarkable project and book that showcases great charm and creativity. This important message comes from Anya Hindmarch. In this personal exploration into ethical and traceable leather, fashion designer Alice Robinson embarks on a groundbreaking journey to uncover the origin story of leather and its profound connection to food and farming.
As a fashion student, Alice's curiosity led her to question the materials she worked with. Leather, universally recognized as a luxury material, is used to create exquisite bags, shoes, and clothing. However, how much do we truly understand about its origins? Alice's journey began at her childhood home in rural Shropshire, where she made the decision to purchase Bullock 374 and trace its path from a local farm to the abattoir, then to the butchery, and finally to the tannery.
The culmination of this journey is Alice's own design practice, where she creates a collection based on this single hide. Through this process, Alice gains a broader perspective and connects farm, food, and fashion for the first time, unraveling the true essence of provenance, value, and beauty.
