You just pray that something is going to hit you like lightning. Like a movie, a book, or a photograph, a painting, something that you can riff on it and learn more about it and explore it, and just go on a journey with it. So lots of times when I choose a theme, I'll also incorporate other things that I'm doing at that period.
Anna Sui
No one has ever found a solution for not doing a fashion show.
Anna Sui
I think you have to be in the right place at the right time. And understand that and know when it is your time and how you react to it and how you respond to it.
Anna Sui
I love the fact that fashion always changes, and I hate the fact that it always changes.
