For fall 2010, Anna Sui‘s vision didn’t veer from her usual comfort zone: Flrity, fun garments with a handmade vibe. Touches of embroidery, floral prints and velvet in saturated hues make Old World ideas look new and current.
This ensemble really represents the bulk of the collection: Lots of patterns, loose shapes, but girlish, and done in with optimism and coziness.
Tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1993.
I think the loose peasant dresses are pretty great: Pair with black tights or, as seen here, patterned ones and you’ve got an easy, pretty fall outfit.
The idea of mixing patterns always scares me, but when it looks this good, how can you resist? I think they key is fit — if the sweater were tight and pulling over an enormous rack (like mine), it wouldn’t work.
Wow. Armwarmers! And the velvet looks so plush. I love the rich, unexpected colors here.
Take me home, to the place where I belong! West Virginia, Mountain Mama… La la la, I forget the words.
Yeah yeah yeah, babydoll dresses are shapeless and unflattering, blah blah blah. I love this. LOVE IT.
Anna Sui has always created unabashedly girly things, and these tights — paired with Mary Janes, no less! — are completely classic Sui.
