The World of Anna Sui

What am I looking at? 
Nino Paulito went to see the Anna Sui retrospective at the Fashion and Textile museum. 

Who is Anna Sui? 
A New York fashion designer who established her label during the 80's. Sui gained a cult following based on people who admired her uniquely customized clothes. She always had the ambition to make clothing for rock stars and it wasn't long before celebs such as Madonna started wearing her designs.

What's Anna Sui's style? 
We'd describe it as collage of Hippie, Goth and Grunge, a touch of Art Deco patterning and even elements of Baroque in Sui's choice of ornate floral fabrics and intricate detailing. This combination gives her work a feel of dramatic regal glamour.

Sure. What was your favourite look? 
The jester / horse thing was amazing. Its like a super lush version of that inflatable ostrich costume.

Overall, did you enjoy the show? 
Yes, we loved it. Aside from the clothes it was also great to see the wider range of Anna Sui creations such as her cosmetic range, personal sketches, a library of scents and a gallery of press release illustrations. Some of the packaging and design on these items are as equally inventive as her clothing.

Great. Thanks. Bye.
