ANNA SUI SPRING 2009

AP News, New York

Pack your bags: Anna Sui’s spring runway took the retailers, stylists and editors at New York Fashion Week on a sunny, happy trip Wednesday night. Judging from the matador details and Aztec prints, the likely destination was Latin America.


Sui’s use of denim was very modern – it could be for any time of day and any occasion. The best of these outfits, a black denim romper with a complementary jacket embroidered with a sunburst pattern, opened the show.

And Sui’s jumpsuits weren’t aiming to be super sexy as they’ve done in other collections; hers were meant to be worn during the day, even to work–that’s why the one with black embroidery came with a matching crisp poplin coat.

The finale fitted black jumpsuit, paired with a cream-colored embroidered jacket, would have been wearable despite the obvious bullfighter inspiration if the model weren’t wearing a costumey fringed hat. She was having fun, though.
