Anna Sui’s<\/a> Fall Winter 2021 collection\u2014like so many of the iconic New York-based designer’s collections<\/a>\u2014feels like a campy fever dream. A heady mix of 70s psychedelia, Beatles-esque rock n’ roll motifs, and cutesy nods to Jane Birkin. There was cow print layered over tweed, paisley tucked into rose-printed velvet slacks, and a fantastic sequin-embellished emerald green suit. Looking for a vision of life post lockdown that doesn’t totally suck? Step inside Anna Sui’s brilliant, bold world.<\/p>\n

The collection featured a handful of collaborators\u2014close friends of Sui’s who she handpicked to contribute specific elements. Illustrators Monika Forsberg and Golden Daze gave graphics, Birdie Purl made cropped hand-dyed knits, and Anna Castellano hand-painted the denim. Two of Sui’s nieces contributed illustrations and hand-beaded face mask chains. The end result felt homespun in the most positive way\u2014intimate, familiar, and, above all, wearable.<\/p>\n

Sui has long been influenced by music\u201470s rock goddesses like Anita Pallenberg and Marianne Faithfull\u2014but also by the bands she grew up watching as a teenager in Detroit, like Iggy and the Stooges and MC5. Fashion felt like a gateway into the musical subcultures she saw and loved, as a way to rebel, or to find a like-minded tribe\u2014it served as part of her ongoing inspiration to be a fashion designer, a dream she famously nurtured from the age of four.<\/p>\n
