Anna Lee illustrations
Anna’s biography and list of achievements is a testament to her talent and hard work. Originally hailing from Russia, where she’s spent a few years perfecting her drawing technique at St Petersburg University, Anna then honed her graphic and cutting skills to perfection at De Montfort University in Leicester. Add to that a successful stint developing prints for catwalk collections at Alexander McQueen– and that’s one remarkable CV and a whole lot of confidence for a young designer.

Anna’s big break came when pieces from her graduate collection were photographed by Rankin and featured in official publicity for Graduate Fashion Week 2010.

Her graduate collection ‘Tigers Vs Dragons’ featured hand-illustrated textiles depicting mythical creatures and legends of the Orient - dragons, tigers, fire feathers and cascades of water. Inspired by Japanese culture, Anna presented her exotic and highly elaborate prints on Kimono-like dresses in vibrant colours – and bagged a prestigious Zandra Rhodes Catwalk Textiles Award.

Since winning the award at Graduate Fashion Week and graduating Anna has worked at Alberta Ferretti’s Italian HQ and her prints were featured in the label’s SS11 collection.
With a buzz from international style press (including I-D, Marie Claire, Drapers and Stylist among others) and a growing fan base, Anna is now working on a new collection for her eponymous label – to be presented at London Fashion Week in September.

We love Anna Lee pieces for the energy, passion and sheer creative freedom they exude. Dramatic high-fashion impact and wearability in one – it doesn’t get any better than that!

Lucky My Fashion Secret guests will get to meet Anna next Saturday 28 May – so go ahead and ask about her inspirations, how long it took to draw these prints and what it was like working with Alexander McQueen (tough but amazing, we hear) and Alberta Ferretti (nerve-wrecking, apparently).
