Anna Sui

When punk really started to happen, it was a reaction against the disco craze of the time. ”

To me, fashion is like a mirror. It's a reflection of the times. And if it doesn't reflect the times, it's not fashion. Because people aren't gonna be wearing it. ”

Every time that I wanted to give up, if I saw an interesting textile, print what ever, suddenly I would see a collection. ”

Nothing's faster than the Internet. ”

When I look at designer books I am sometimes puzzled why they don't share their inspiration, when it's obvious somebody had such great inspiration. ”

I think I'm a global citizen. My parents came from China, were educated in France and emigrated to the United States. And I think that opened up my mind to be able to live and work anywhere. ”

Every collection that I work on, I always think, Is this cool enough to wear to a concert? ”

I have a big responsibility to my licenses. All my licenses draw from and take ideas from the runway. ”
