The label takes its name from its founder and designer, Anthea Crawford, and is primarily associated with eveningwear, formal dresses and other occasion-focused womenswear.

Public references generally place the establishment of the label around 1980. Over time, the brand became associated primarily with eveningwear, formal dresses and clothing for special occasions, with the designer’s name remaining central to its identity.
