I remember being obsessed with Anna Sui in high school back in the mid-aughts and finding an Anna Sui x Anthropologie top at a secondhand store and making it my entire personality well into college. Her aesthetic has always been so unapologetically feminine but also very informed by pop culture. She is truly an icon.

her old anthro stuff was also one of my entry points into the brand - diffusion line done well

I had her lip gloss ring in high school and thought it was the absolute coolest. Now I want one again.

her makeup designs are so dollhouse-y and i can really see why she and sandy jive, despite having different POVs

I have a couple of Anna Sui pieces that I have found in the thrift stores. They’re gorgeous. My green suede boots are an Anna Sui and John Fluevog collaboration, and one of my prize possessions.

Loved this, thank you, Viv.

the Fluevog collaboration is so innovative, i like how both brands aren't afraid to lean into the eccentricity.

Anna and John have been friends for a long time, and have done a few collaborations. I love that personal touch…and that there are still designers out there catering to the weird folks like me.

she was my favorite fashion designer! my first perfume was the tiniest bottle of Anna Sui Love in 2002 and I adored that iconic 🦋 mirror gift with purchase

The perfume bottles look like magic potions
