Not even fashion. A collection of random clothes.

I have never seen anyone wearing Anna Sui...but I presume there must be customers out there, right? RIGHT???

 

[Not Plain Jane]

i always see the odd few pieces & looks i like in her collections, but never do i think i want or like it all. the styling is always too busy. anyhow, in this case the few pieces i like are in the #2 post.

I think if she gave her clothes a more grown up Biba treatment and less school girl, her brand would be far more successful. There is a market for that dark Biba glamour after years of having minimalistic Phoebe Philo like clothes saturate the market.

It’s probably her best collection in years…Decades?
But I do have the same question as @jeanclaude ! Is there really a customer for this and we are totally unaware of it?

I think that if her price point was a lot lower she would really have something on her hands. 1k for a skirt that looks like vintage rag is a non starter in 2024. If we could bring that price to like 395 it would be way better - If not still expensive for - again - what looks like Clueless limited edition doll clothes.

I liked the first part of the collection - the 20s viewed through the 70s - which has always been a classic Anna Sui look. She's always had a niche audience in Japan and HK, actually. But I think that customer base is ageing, and hence her business has somewhat faltered in recent years.

She makes most of her bread via her makeup/fragrances but Lola would know more but honestly this brand has been very obscure for the past 15 years or so, it had a lot of buzz in the 90s. I remember her shows always had great casts pre 2010.

coachella came early

 

[RaisinBoy]

What books are featured behind the model!?!? They seem more interesting than whats in front

Why so much draggings? This is one of her better collections.

she's also stayed strongly attached & true to the 90s which is why i think you're right about the ageing customer base. but i also agree with scotty that this is one of her more coherent collections in a while. two parts, day/evening, but with a throughline

I like how busy and elaborate it is, an alternative for that quiet luxury stuff/Lang wannabes. It only needed to be less juvenile.
