Fashion Friday
Posted by jeckert on 04/30/2010
Anna Sui, New York, NY:
Like many of the designers we have featured on Fashion Friday, Anna Sui has a unique story. She wanted to be a fashion designer from age four, and even though she is very much in touch with her Chinese culture, she chooses to manufacture her garments and other products in the United States.
For the fashionista on a budget, Sui has a line of clothing for Target, as well. Like her higher-end pieces, the line is still made in America and is inspired by the popular CW television show, "Gossip Girl."
In addition to clothes, Sui makes shoes, accessories, and even a cosmetics line. She describes her products as "feminine" mixed with "rock-and-roll."
Check out this article in The New Yorker (preview available, subscription required) on products and clothing labels that are still "Made in the U.S.A."
Anna Sui's garments are available for purchase online at www.annasui.com as well as at Bergdorf Goodman, Target and Nordstrom.
