Anna Sui

That’s all I have to say to get me excited. I’ve been happiest (literally) this past week than I have been in the past three months (sad, I know). I must confess, my goal for this season was to get inside the tents. But since I’m practically a nobody I got to stand outside the tents (like the other people, however, a lot of them wanted to see celebrities…I was looking forward to seeing all of the models, editors, and possibly designers..nerd I know). While I did get to work (well “intern”: read work for free) with a PR company at the Carlos Campos an Thuy Shows (all fab by the way), I didn’t get to go inside..they were all offsite.

I must say, all of my favorite designers in one arena got me all excited. My most fave shows this season must be: Zac Posen, Marc Jacobs, Betsey Johnson, and Anna Sui.

So…this is why I love Anna Sui:

1. Knows how to tell people off. According to WWD:

“Don’t mess with Anna Sui. As her many fans and friends know, the designer is one tough chick, and she proved it at her show Monday by taking the law into her own hands. In each goodie bag, her guests found T-shirts emblazoned with “Forever Wanted: Don Cassidy & The Sundance Jin, Reward $21,000,” around a caricature of Don and Jin Chang, the owners of retailer Forever 21, which Sui is suing for copyright infringement. The bottom of the T reads “‘Thou shalt not steal’; Exodus 20:15,” a reference to the Changs’ devout Christianity and the “John 3:16″ that is printed on every Forever 21 shopping bag. “I thought it would be funny,” the designer said backstage after her show. “I can’t really talk about it because I am in litigation, so that was my statement.”In April, Sui filed a copyright lawsuit against the retailer alleging it has been making an ongoing practice of copying her designs since late 2005. Other brands that are similarly taking action against Forever 21 are Diane von Furstenberg and Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers line.”
