*tbt: FW15 Major Moment; Anna Sui

***

Who doesn’t love a good Viking?

New York designer, Anna Sui definitely does! And it shows in her extremely well-conceived Fall/Winter 2015 collection.

Sui took us on a Mongolian-inspired, Nordic adventure, using her conventional prints in new and exciting ways.

As with her fellow designers, the 70s were a huge inspiration. Sui successfully managed to incorporate her own luxe , layered, boho aesthetic, with this decade…and still was able to throw in some Norse cultural influences??

Sounds like a mess?! It does…

…but it turned out to be the perfect recipe!

[fashion is all about ~~moderation~~ proportion]

Models sported funky, tribal face tattoos and windblown, warrior tresses as they paraded Sui’s beautiful, folkloric creations down the runway.

Sui gave us a full package.

51 whopping looks [!!] including jumpsuits, peasant tops, knit vests, tights, all in a mix of fur, lace, lamé, chiffon and wool….plus embroidery, plus print!
