There is no doubt in my mind, that the Anna Sui Spring 2009 Ready-to-Wear Collection, will take you on a creative journey that is unparalleled in the world of fashion. Somewhere in between her imaginative patterns, rich prints, flamboyant colors, and intrinsic embroidery, I was captivated. Her devotion to detail is apparent in every way, with each piece inherently unique. She truly outdid herself this year. This entire collection blew me away in more ways than one.
Anna Sui, who is originally known to mix dark Victorian, dolly girl, rock 'n' roll styles, while maintaing the balance between classic vintage charm and pop-culture gloss. Infamous for her signature magnetic colors and eclectic energy, The New York Times magazine named her a designer who “never panders". Whether Anna's inspiration is Victorian cowboys, Warhol superstars, Astrological fantasies, or Spanish textiles, her depth of cultural knowledge is evident.
Anna Sui is right up there with cult classics like Marc Jacobs for me. Rarely would I ever say I'd do a clean sweep of an entire collection from any designer (even the brilliant and talented Marc Jacobs) but this collection was exceptionally remarkable. The boundless energy and creative ingenuity of her runway presentations will forever make her shows a highlight at New York Fashion Week. Her inspiring collection is available online at NET-A-PORTER, Shopbop, Nordstrom, and select Anna Sui boutiques worldwide. And following her own inspiration, Anna will continue to inspire. I know she has deeply inspired me.
