ANNA SUI

Anna Sui has a worldwide cult following who look to her each season for ironic mixes of romantic nostalgia and rock-and-roll glam. Born in Detroit, Sui came to New York to study at Parsons School of Design. Her first runway show premiered in 1991. The next year she opened her original retail location at 113 Greene Street in Soho; with its iconic lavender walls, red floors, antique black furniture, and signature dolly head mannequins. She won the CFDA Perry Ellis Award for New Fashion Talent the same year, and in 2009 she received their prestigious Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award. Anna Sui has 50 boutiques and is sold in over 300 stores worldwide. The Anna Sui line also includes very popular fragrance and cosmetic ranges, and 15 total licenses. Anna Sui designs and manufactures from her New York City headquarters.
