More quotes by Anna Sui
I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit.
Anna Sui
I just love the way the '60s rock stars put themselves together, because they were like dandies and peacocks. They really lived out their fantasies - and dressed their fantasies.
Anna Sui
To me, fashion is like a mirror. It's a reflection of the times. And if it doesn't reflect the times, it's not fashion. Because people aren't gonna be wearing it.
Anna Sui
Totally girly - love all the childish sounds.
Anna Sui
Every time that I wanted to give up, if I saw an interesting textile, print what ever, suddenly I would see a collection.
Anna Sui
I don't have the luxury of making clothes just to make an effect. It can't be something totally frivolous, because my distributors have to have a successful season, too.
Anna Sui
I think that fashion has become such a big business and with globalization we are on new territory at this point. We are not just designing for a country we are designing for a world now.
Anna Sui
A piece of fabric can get me going.
Anna Sui
I always say the next big thing will happen in unexpected places - up and coming cities that aren't necessarily boom markets.
Anna Sui
At the point when I wanted to become a designer, I didn't think about, 'Oh, but I'm a woman,' just like didn't think about like, well, 'I'm Chinese' or that 'I'm in Michigan.' You know, none of those things were obstacles to me. I just had this idea that this is what I had to do.

I think whenever people talk about the 'Anna Sui woman,' they're talking about someone that's probably kind of more downtown, and there's always like this ambiguity: Is she a good girl, or a bad girl?
Anna Sui
Every collection that I work on, I always think, Is this cool enough to wear to a concert?
Anna Sui
I knew since the age of four that I wanted to be a clothing designer. I read an article in LIFE magazine about two young ladies that graduated from Parsons School of Design, and when they graduated they went to Paris and Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor opened a boutique for them. So I thought, Oh, I just have to go to Parsons, that's all.
Anna Sui
I love history. I love art. I like to mix it all together, but in the end it somehow has to all make sense.
Anna Sui
The red library is Sui's tribute to fashion maven Diana Vreeland, who served as editor for Harper's Bazaar (1939-1962) and Vogue (1963-1961). My most precious collection is my bound Vogue magazines, .. and they're kind of like my Bible. I look at them all the time when I'm trying to inspire myself for a collection.
Anna Sui
Creating a book and creating a collection involve a lot of editing.
Anna Sui
No one has ever found a solution for not doing a fashion show.
Anna Sui
What people look to me for is a whole look. People come to me for icing on the cake, not a basic stretch pant.
Anna Sui
I love the fact that fashion always changes, and I hate the fact that it always changes.
Anna Sui
When I look at designer books I am sometimes puzzled why they don't share their inspiration, when it's obvious somebody had such great inspiration.
