About Fandom: Anna Sui




A recent launch of designer Anna Sui’s fall make-up collection marks two occasions: Sui's first visit to Vancouver and my first encounter with public fandom. Honestly. Yes, I'm a fan of many people, places and things, but I rarely ever display this kind of interest publicly. That is until now.

Anna Sui's sense of style. She is all about big, chunky jewellery. Colourful beadwork. Bold prints. And, her signature red pout. Included here are images of Anna Sui at the launch, along with her adoring fan club.
Anna Sui on her customers."People are attracted to my clothing because of all the elements I try to put into it - the touch of nostalgia, the trendiness, the hipness I try to create by adding a touch of rock 'n' roll," she says. "There's always a very feminine, girly aspect to it. There's always that ambiguity of good girl, bad girl. All those things have to go into the clothes, or it doesn't look Anna Sui."

anna sui is such a fashion babe. i love what she says about the sui look being girly but rock n roll at the same time. i'm not sure her followers always get that combination. thanks for the photos.
