More quotes by 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.

You still get the sheer quality coming through but you're covered.

From the season I did the butterfly faux tattoos on the models on the runway, every collection we do has to have a butterfly t-shirt or trim or print. People come to me for butterflies!

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.

You have to focus on your dreams, even if they go beyond common sense.

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.

There are always different influences each season. It could be a person, it could be a piece of furniture it depends on what I'm obsessing about.
Anna Sui
I grew up in the suburbs of Detroit.
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
I have a big responsibility to my licenses. All my licenses draw from and take ideas from the runway.
Anna Sui
I think I'm a global citizen. My parents came from China, were educated in France and emigrated to the United States. And I think that opened up my mind to be able to live and work anywhere.
Anna Sui
Fashion should be fun and accessible.

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?
