Anna Sui epitomizes boho-chic. At age four, Sui decided she wanted to become a designer and this quest led her to start making her own clothes before pursuing a degree at Parson's School of Design and launching her own company in 1980. Her line can be described as neo-folk, offering playful dresses and seperates that can be layered for a quirky look, or pared down for preppy-chic. Anna Sui's collections are an eclectic vision of paisley and patchwork prints on chiffon kaftans, brocade dresses and embroidered high-neck blouses.

Since her Detroit beginnings, Anna Sui seemed destined for cult classic status. Her hip mix of dark Victorian, dolly, and rock 'n' roll styles balances between classic vintage charm and pop-culture gloss. Sui's footwear premiered in 1997 and includes several different textures for both day and evening styles. Her shoe collection, like her other endeavors, embodies her signature wit and eclectic energy.
