Anna Sui REVIEWS

New York Times on Anna Sui's Fall 2000 collection "Ms. Sui seemed to transform herself from a club habitu?who always knew what was happening below 14th Street to a mature designer whose inspirations might be a Ken Russell film or a rococo palace? The upshot was a sophisticated look that relied not on obvious symbols of glamour, like pearls and trailing boas, but on simple modern ideals as lightness and comfort."

WWD on Anna Sui's Spring '99 collection"Anna Sui is a practiced hand at mixing antiquated romance and modern love?Her meld of 'rococo and gypsy' was so fresh it evoked a 'girl who's just fallen in the river and gotten back out,' just as Sui intended."

WWD on Anna Sui's Spring '98 collection"Three cheers for Anna Sui, who hung 10 with her fabulous spring collection...In one of her best collections in seasons, Anna Sui broke the boredom of fashion week with a terrific show."

The International Herald Tribune on the Spring '98 collection "Sui's style is rooted in the 1970's, with references to flower power hats, tiny Liberty floral prints, and to the ethnic trail. But she made it all seem fresh and modern... The collection had a sunny spirit that made the downbeat, downtown collections on other runways seem like last year's trends."

WWD on Anna Sui's Fall '97 collection"...(Sui's) clothes have never been about wallflowers. Instead, she loves a kind of overt, hip fashion that manages to be both saucy and sweet, and she has a knack for combining the familiar and the frivolous in a way that makes perfect sense."

The New York Times on the Spring '97 Anna Sui collection "Two forces are always at work in fashion: innocence and its brazen opposite. But what is amazing about Miuccia Prada and Anna Sui, fashion's most conniving designing women, is how they manage always to work both notions into their shows."

WWD on Anna Sui "Anna Sui is the sorceress of New York fashion - she definitely has the power to enchant."

The New York Times on Anna Sui's Fall '96 collection "It is Ms. Sui's method of research, paired with the madness of her creativity, that makes her shows more than inspirational. They are educational, too."
