"Behind every brand, there's a team, there's a lot of people that make [a collection] happen, and I think that needs to be celebrated," Anna Sui told me when I asked what made her the most excited about"The World of Anna Sui," a retrospective of her work at the Museum of Arts and Design ."It's just not just one person."
In the exhibit, these staples of Sui's aesthetic are explored through 13 archetypes—Americana, Androgyny, Fairytale, Grunge, Hippie & Rockstar, Mod, Nomad, Punk, Retro, School Girl, Surfer, and Victorian—which she credits collaborator Dennis Nothdruft, the curator of the first iteration of this exhibition that showed at London's Fashion and Textile Museum two years ago, for coming up with.
In addition to the fashion looks on display, the two-floor exhibit highlights the immersive experiences of the designer's fashion shows and stores, as well as explores her influences and processes for designing collections. Victorian furniture and a life-size Diana Vreeland doll are displayed alongside recreated mood boards that feature sketches, print samples—many of which she creates herself for each collection—and swaths of textiles.
