For spring 2012, Anna Sui is looking back — at the 1930s and 1940s. Her collection, shown yesterday in New York, featured strong shoulders balanced by nipped-in, belted waists, reminiscent of a film noir femme fatale. But the zany patterns, deep hues and quirky styling gave the presentation a playful twist. In a few shots, models were actually smiling.
Take away the turbans and the ankle socks, and you’ve still got wearable, flattering pieces that easily go from day to night.
Loving the strong red lip and the turbans!
Must have the black dress in the middle.
