""And there’s Anna Sui at the center of it all, in a new book coming out this autumn with Rizzoli. The past always looks rosy, but it looks especially halcyon through Anna Sui’s eyes. Her whimsical collections, dreamed up from her own fashion fantasies, have become true fashion lore, helping to define the look and spirit of the 1990s. In the nearly 200 page photobook, Sui, Coppola, Marc Jacobs, Linda Evangelista, and Christy Turnlington recount the wild and crazy times of the 1990s with rare and never-before-seen images from Sui’s archive, all compiled by curator Ileen Gallagher. The book is a treasure trove of fashion at its purest and most fun, when designers were artists and imaginators, and when models were besties with great style."" — i-D

""You can’t talk about New York fashion without talking about Anna Sui, especially when looking back at the ’90s: a defining decade of the industry that brought supermodels, all-star designers, and radical minimalism to the forefront. When Sui reminisces about the era, one that brought her first runway show and further catapulted her to mainstream success, she can’t help but think about how much the industry has changed since—and how novel everything felt to her at the time. It’s a sentiment that permeates the pages of her new book with Rizzoli, The Nineties...She explains, “[In this book], you see my backstage photos, and everything is so chill. We’re just all hanging out. It’s not chaotic—it’s almost like a family of people, between the hair, the makeup, the models, and then my friends. Everyone was just always hanging out. And then if you also look at the audiences, they were friends of friends, they were buyers, or they were editors.'"" — ELLE MAGAZINE ""And there’s Anna Sui at the center of it all, in a new book coming out this autumn with Rizzoli.

In the book’s 176 pages, Sui traces her creative process visually with sketches, fabric swatches, show photos, and film stills mixed with commentary from friends and collaborators like Sofia Coppola."" — WMAGAZINE.COM
