NYFW Re-Cap: Anna Sui

Pop sixties was all I could think of while I was reviewing the Spring 2010 collection of recent CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Anna Sui. With her also recent collaboration with Target, Anna Sui was bound to come out with something to live for. The clothes had me feeling like I was at the circus with models wearing Mary Quant Sassoon cuts and Jean Shrimptons with flowered head scarves that had prints of circus animals, paisley, or apples. Another thing I noticed was that this collection was a lot more boyish than her previous collections. Nothing's wrong with a little change. The boyfriend look is so in. :)









"I'm always about optimism and exuberance. It's what I feel about fashion," Sui says.

Sui Stays To The Land Of The Rising Sun

For all our readers in Japan, this is for you! You lucky suckers will be the ONLY one's seeing Daisy Lowe in the new Anna Sui campaign. The good news for all you others living elsewhere, the outfit that Lowe is wearing will be available on every continent where Anna Sui is sold. So don't feel too bad, k? :-)

Anna Pulls My Heart Strings

I'm sure Christopher Nic would agree that this is all up and down my alley. I live for dresses and skirts and these Anna Sui pieces really have my name written on them. I feel like they're already in my closet, hold on let me go see... lol. Nope, not there... I forgot I'm not dropping thousands of dollars on dresses YET, these little numbers run a pretty penny.

I'll wait for the Anna Sui for Target, lol.

Anna for Target

Dearborn, MI native, Anna Sui is joining the ranks of the designers to design a collection for Target. This is exciting news to me because I've always admired Anna's love of prints and the free spirit aura that surrounds the collections. Anna drew inspiration from a source I'm sure all of us are inspired by.... Gossip Girl. That show gives us a variety of distinct styles within each character and now it's like marrying the best of both worlds, designer low priced fashions and iconic it girl style.




The line will be available September 13th through October 17th, so mark your calenders and make room in your closets.

The Coveted

Just a few pieces I need in my life...

Anna Sui S/S 2009- I could live in this silhouette. I love a defined waist and A-line it's so fun and flirty and short enough to keep my beau's attention ;-)

Versace F/W 2008- Sky high heels are everything right now and these are simple but outrageous all at the same time. Plus...Purple's the new black.

Tarina Tarintino- Love Love Love. This necklace reminds me of the jewelry you use to wear as a child that came in the pack with the slip on heels with the feathers, and the boa, and clip on earrings. Ahhh the memories...this piece can add excitement to any ensemble.

D&G F/W 2008- From the looks of it, I'm really into color this season. This bag is definitely an eye catcher...even though I'm not to sure on the shape of it and how short the handles are. But hey...It's D&G...I'll get over it.

The fashion ignorant will ask "Why are you always carrying around that Chanel shopping bag?" and you politely reply "For the same reason you decided to wear THAT!" Because you already know it will be a mess. Anyway, I would carry this bag til the day I die. That darn Karl holds a special place in my heart.

Christmas is closer than you think...hint hint!
