Anna Sui

I always say the next big thing will happen in unexpected places - up and coming cities that aren't necessarily boom markets. ”

I wanted to be a designer since I was a kid, and I was always attracted to the way rock stars dressed and the way their girlfriends dressed. I always thought that they were the most interesting people. ”

I think whenever people talk about the 'Anna Sui woman,' they're talking about someone that's probably kind of more downtown, and there's always like this ambiguity: Is she a good girl, or a bad girl? ”

Fashion should be fun and accessible. ”

To me if you're going have a show, it should be a show. It should be entertaining and take you on a journey. ”

I think about that all of the time and I have this fantasy that I am going to work at a museum someday! I would love to do something like that! ”

I love punk, I love a lot of British Invasion bands, I love garage bands. ”

I just love the whole idea of conversational prints. ”

I just love the way the '60s rock stars put themselves together, because they were like dandies and peacocks. They really lived out their fantasies - and dressed their fantasies. ”

I love history. I love art. I like to mix it all together, but in the end it somehow has to all make sense. ”
