Anna completed six years of study in Fashion Design with a first class honours degree from Edinburgh college of art and graduated with an MA from the Royal College of Art in 1995
Her first job as a fashion designer was working for Karl Lagerfeld in Paris, after which she worked in Italy for MaxMara and Valentino. Returning to London she then worked for Amanda Wakeley and has consulted on design for various brands. In 2012, she established her collection under her own name as Anna Mason. Anna was eventually inspired to start her label after making pieces for herself that led to her being stopped by other women and asked where she had bought them. Today, many of her loyal customers report the very same experience when wearing Anna Mason.
Anna Mason clothes are feminine, wearable and timeless.
Classic yet modern with a romantic nod to the past they have a youthful attitude that is relevant to the lifestyles of women today.
With the needs of the modern woman and her real life situations in mind, Anna Mason clothes offer authentic day to day dressing solutions for the here-and-now that become 'go to' wardrobe favourites.
Each season the collection has a distinct, directional silhouette that flatters and frames in a unique colour palette, using classically beautiful fabrics.
Where possible Anna uses British fabrics and this remains constant season-to-season.
The clothes are the very opposite of disposable fashion. They are beautifully made, stylish and luxurious pieces that are designed to fit and flatter so that they are worn again and again. This ethos was established from the very beginning, when Anna Mason set out to make clothes that women would cherish as outfits that worked for their individual shape and size, filled the gaps in their wardrobe and were suitable for everyday life as well as special occasions.
Sustainability has always been a core value for Anna Mason.
Stock is carefully controlled, and we deliberately avoid the ‘Sale culture’ that constantly seeks to shift older stock in order to usher in the new. Anna Mason outfits stand the test of time.
While we introduce new styles and fabrics each season, many thematic elements endure, such as with our Classics range, and we celebrate how an item can be worn multiple times and multiple ways.
