After a worldwide tour that included London, New York and Shanghai, The World of Anna Sui exhibit has arrived to Fort Lauderdale where it is on display through Oct. 3 at NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale.
Discover the glamorous and eclectic world behind this famous designer known for her originality and creativity. Among the 125 “looks” on display are pieces worn by Palm Beach resident and Warhol protégé Jane Holzer.
“Since her first catwalk show in 1991, Anna Sui has become known for creating fabulously original clothing inspired by intensive research into vintage fashion and popular culture,” notes the venue’s website. “The exhibition ranges from early looks such as the exuberant Carnaby Street schoolgirl outfits worn by supermodels Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell in Sui’s first runway show in 1991, to the cowgirl and cheerleader modeled by Gigi and Bella Hadid in her Spring/Summer 2017 Americana-themed collection.”
Bonnie Clearwater, NSU art museum director and chief curator adds, “Throughout her career Sui has inventively blended global art history, music and popular culture for each new collection. Her designs are inspired by extraordinary and creative women and her embrace of collaborations across disciplines keeps her at the forefront of fashion, art and design. We are delighted to present this compelling exhibition.”
