2004 have seen Anita Collaborate with Christian Lacroix, designing and embroidering a jacket featured on the runway for the Haute Couture show.

Anita draws inspirations from great artists such as Monet, Gustav Klimt, and Robert John Thornton and from nature, garden, floral and its ever changing beauty that surrounds it, the colour, texture, the shapes, patterns, tone, placements and proportion. And it is no surprise that this is very much depicted in her work. She tries to emulate and capture that essence of beauty into her designs, by combining the unexpected with various textile techniques such as fabric manipulation, appliqué, hand and machine embroidery to create undulating raised floral textures that seem to float on the fabric.

Each one off pieces in her collection is individually embroidered freehand, using reclaimed and vintage fabrics as a way of painting with texture on the fabric. She loves to collect and mix cloths with history, such as vintage remnants with that of the new to create innovative, colourful and abstact pieces which can be worn as a garment, viewed as a flat piece of cloth or wall hangings, which can be displayed in a range of environment such as commercial or private installations.

She immerses herself in each piece she designs allowing her imagination to shape each embroidered piece. She also designs range of 3 dimensional textiles created using felt, juxtaposed over hand and machine embroidered background, which she creates by dissecting each piece of fabric and meticulously fusing them together to create fragile pieces with character and depth.
