Anna Sui really is a girl at heart. In fact the goodie bag in our seat had a bright pink terry armband with a do-wop cartoon on it. While it’s safe to say she’s going to do something “bohemian” each season, the pretty metallic wallpaper-looking invitation tipped us off that we were going to see something a little bit more luxurious. Her flower children stomped out to Siouxsie and the Banshees clad in metallic chiffons and lames, beaded capes and blouses and dresses with floral and vine motifs, complete with floral headbands. Actor Vincent Gallo said, “It’s the most luxurious and rich collection I’ve seen from her. It was sort of aristocratic.“ Backstage after the show, Sui told us that she was influenced by Native American art, Oriental art, Art Nouveau and the arts and crafts movement. Now, that’s a lot of art. “It’s just all the things I love and you have a great time when you’re designing all the things you love." (Photos: AP) E-mail entry: |
