Anna Sui

Fashion Designer
Brand

Anna Sui is an American fashion designer, and founder of her eponymous label. Sui launched her namesake label in 1981, having been making her own clothes since she was four years old.

Originally from Detroit, she studied her craft at Parsons School of Design in New York. Following this, she worked in styling, and later sportswear design.

Anna Sui grew in worldwide popularity throughout the eighties and nineties, and held her first runway show in 1991, going on to win the CDFA Perry Ellis Award for New Talent that same year.

The brand's aesthetic is noted for its attention to detail and rock and roll influences. Sui typically mixes a vintage Victorian aesthetic with craft pieces. As a designer, she is constantly associated with the influence of music, in particular British rock. Sui has since moved into cosmetics and released multiple perfumes.

Some of Sui's other achievements include winning the CFDA's Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement award in 2009, being named one of the Top Five Fashion Icons of the Decade by TIME magazine, and having stores in over 50 countries in the world.
