Anya Hindmarch

Fashion Entrepreneur, Sustainability Pioneer & BFC Director

Headshot of Anya Hindmarch, entrepreneur and keynote speaker on brand systems and creative leadership,

Anya Hindmarch CBE is a visionary entrepreneur who operates at the high-stakes intersection of creative strategy and operational discipline. Over three decades, she has transformed a bespoke label into a global powerhouse by treating design as a rigorous system. A non-executive director of the British Fashion Council, Anya is a leading voice on circular economy initiatives, most notably through The Universal Bag, a 2026 global project that has diverted hundreds of tonnes of plastic from landfill through a revolutionary, 100% recyclable retail model.

Anya specialises in the "governance of creativity," proving that brand trust is earned through behaviour, not messaging. She explores how inclusive leadership and radical transparency redefine modern commerce. For 92 Speakers’ clients, she provides a sophisticated framework for balancing creative authorship with large-scale complexity, reframing sustainability as a core commercial capability.

A sharp and intellectually composed presence, Anya deconstructs the mechanics of brand relevance. She offers C-suite boards a grounded roadmap for purpose-driven growth and long-term resilience.
