How can you ever go wrong with Anna Sui, every girl today needs a little Anna in their closet. Whether it’s a t-shirt, her classic baby doll dress or a killer pair of her boots. The opening section is dark with tones of black and classic Sui purple. The statement pieces in this section are the knits along with a few leather pieces. The “it” trend is Sui’s knee high black leather boots. Anna even draws from her decadent archive of prints and textiles. Bold is really not a word to describes Sui’s eye for creating decadent looks and pieces, its more like “Alive”. One of the standout looks in the opening section is a bright blue print dress with a velvet collar and sleeve cuffs. To complete the look Sui showed a brown tweed jacket with fringe trim and buttons matching the colors in the dress print. The second section is peppered with a few color pieces but Sui keeps the color with the blue/red-blue family, with a hint of green here and there. The prints are highlight of this section especially in her knit looks. One of the standout looks is a dark olive green paisley print cashmere/wool knit hooded cardigan and matching skirt. The look is finished with a spicy orange silk satin hooded blouse.

The must have looks from the collection are from the third section. Sui moves away from the blue and into more reds and oranges. The looks were a combination of printed pieces matching with complimentary outerwear pieces in heavy velvet, taffeta or faux fur fabrics. The first must have look is the black and white news print blouse worn with a pin stripe black skirt trimmed with lace. To complete the look is a black and white wool sweater. The other must have look is the orange/blue/brown striped velvet coat worn with a brown and orange paisley print dress. To top the look off Sui had showed a boot in the same striped velvet fabric used for the coat. There are countless options in this collection, in every look. Whether it’s the gold beaded baby doll dresses or the embroidered biker boots or the matching taffeta dresses and capes. Sui’s philosophy of adding more is how to really create her look for everyday. More being the accessories, from tassel jewelry, brocade accents or even a sequined cap. This collection is most certainly one of the best outerwear collections Sui has shown in recent seasons. The pieces to watch out for are the taffeta trench coats or the ponchos and capes. Bravo Madame Sui!
