NYFW DAY 7: THE ART OF ANNA SUI

The last day of NYFW calls for my favorite look and favorite show: Anna Sui. The colors she uses are just so rich. It’s like walking out of a different time period, or should I say a different time zone. I always feel a 70’s inspiration from her designs, but this time there was  a bit of 1920’s flapper influence combined with a Victorian twist thanks to the added ruffled necklines and fluffy cuffs. Like most of Anna’s shows, it’s never one point of inspiration that goes into each piece. It seems each design comes from a mix of decades, to be interpreted anyway you choose. The way she mixes styles and inspiration look seamless and effortless. Dresses in prints with matching printed tights and sparkling platform sandals. Belts cinched so perfectly around the waists of iridescent green and red dresses. Iridescence was a huge theme in this show in particular. A perfect mix of bold color, metallics, and flowing fabrics that were pleasing on the eyes. Her vintage inspired hemlines, necklines, and ruffled sleeves are so eclectic rock n’ roll. I feel proud wearing her pieces every single season. They just make me want to dance, sing, and move with the wind! Pieces where I can let my personality shine without saying a word. Now that’s art.

DIP-DYE

fringe3resizedI just modeled for the latest Anna Sui collection, and fell so deeply in love with every single piece on set. Every one of her prints like out of a colorful pyschadelic universe…full of rockstars. It’s all very VELVET UNDERGROUND yet has Anna’s quirkiness. This dip-dyed fringed midi dress an absolute dream. It’s blue/green tint always catching the sun and glistening. Long gone are the days for bare shoulders and open backs, but I still manage to pull it off with some layers. This Theonne plaid jacket one of my winter staples, dressing down this eclectic piece.

Inbetween fittings and last-minute meetings today, I’m gearing up for the ultimate FRIENDSGIVING. One of my very first Thanksgivings away from home. We’re thinking whipping up some yam potatoes, and baking my very first homemade pie. EEKS. I’ll keep you posted.
