My Favorite Things

Welcome to the wildly whimsical world of Anna Sui. Since staging her first runway show in 1991, the CFDA Award-winning New York designer—who was once dubbed “the darling of downtown fashion”—has continued to create visual feasts laced with fantasy and fun, not to mention a generous dose of purple and black. Below, Sui shines a light on her eclectic essentials, from a diamond-dotted zebra bracelet to heart-shaped luggage tags and beyond
