A handbag designer based in Pont Street, has recently installed several mannequins in the image of Margaret Thatcher.

Coinciding with the release of Oscar-tipped film “The Iron Lady”, the Anya Hindmarch store now boasts several incredibly well decorated mannequins that capture her image superbly.

The display truly shows what can be achieved with a well thought out mannequin display.

Each mannequin is dressed in the ex Prime Minister’s signature blue tweed clothing, pearls and unmistakable hair-style, courtesy of some quality wigs.

Anya Hindmarch was quoted as saying: ‘The cleverest thing about Thatcher’s image was how her clothes never detracted from her character.”

“That was quite a feat, I suspect, to look good and still not be talked about for your clothes”.

Professional help appears to have been drafted in to help create such a dazzling display.

Costume designer Tamar Zaig, who created the Spitting Image puppet of Thatcher, collaborated with Hindmarch on the mannequins.

‘The Iron Lady’, directed by Phyllida Lloyd, has received particular praise for Meryl Streep’s portrayal of Baroness Thatcher.
