Anna Sui is one of New York?s most beloved and accomplished fashion designers, known for creating contemporary original clothing inspired by spectacular amounts of research into vintage styles and cultural arcana. She is especially famous for her textile prints.

Through interviews with fashion journalist Tim Blanks, the book explores Sui?s lifelong engagement with fashion archetypes?the rocker, the schoolgirl, the punk, the goth, the bohemian?and reveals their inspiration and influence. Complete with detailed photographs of garments, sketches, moodboards, runway shots, and cultural ephemera,?The World of Anna Sui? is an inside look at this iconic New York designer with a worldwide cult following.
