The Nineties x Anna Sui photo
Step back to the ’90s with fashion icon Anna Sui. Beloved by Gen Z and nostalgic Gen Xers alike, Sui will share stories from her legendary shows and the inspirations behind her era-defining designs. From slip dresses worn by Winona Ryder and Madonna to grunge-infused baby-doll looks favoured by Courtney Love, Sui’s creations captured the rebellious spirit of the last analogue decade. A self-taught historian of culture, art, and fashion, she’ll discuss with Tim Blanks how music, film, and art shaped her designs, all illustrated with images from her new book.
