It does not get more innovative than these statement pieces. Anna Sui has been creating her personal fashion statement ever since dressing up herself, her dolls and her toy soldiers when she was a child.

The New York City fashion designer’s precocious art of blending a serious inventive approach with her outlandish concepts has developed into her signature collection acknowledged for its haute couture edge intermingled with vintage sensibility.

Anna Sui produced her first collection in 1980 and her long anticipated runway shows first appeared in 1991. Her humour and inventive cleverness gives way to her vibrant, hip, avant-garde designs, setting trends in addition to inspiring editors and designers all over the world.
