Anna Sui is an avid traveler, so it would only be natural that the roots of her inspiration for fashion stem from her travel experiences. The Anna Sui Spring 2014 RTW Collection, based on her travels to London where she saw a Pre-Raphaelite exhibition at the Tate Modern, is an extraordinary collection of unique fashions. When Anna saw Jimmy Page’s collection of tapestries, a great fashion idea was born. The majority of the collection included copper wallpaper prints and sienna nouveau floral prints. The models appeared like characters out of a fantasy story with a fairy-like ambiance.
The collection triumphed with an almost gypsy-like vibe that was delightfully eccentric. Think of bohemian fashion meeting Zena the Warrior Princess. The Roman soldier styled wedges worked perfectly with the look. This lighthearted collection is colorful and playful with fantastic crochet pieces and dramatic maxis. The accessories focused heavily on scarves and medallions. The Anna Sui Spring 2014 RTW Collection dazzled on the runway, the only question left to ask is where to wear this extravagant collection.
