The World of Anna Sui
Published on 19th April 2017
From May 26th 2017 the Fashion and Textile Museum will open its doors to a new exhibition, celebrating one of the decade’s most famous fashion icons, Anna Sui. Anna Sui is the classic American fashion designer. From Detroit to New York, her signature rock-n-roll romanticism reinvents pop culture for every new generation. Since her first catwalk show in 1991, Sui has shaped not only the garments, textiles, accessories, beauty and interiors which comprise her design universe, but also the course of fashion history. The World of Anna Sui features over 100 looks from the designer’s archive, presenting a roll call of archetypes from Surfers and School Girls to Hippies, Mods and Punks. This is the first time an American designer has been the focus of a retrospective exhibition in the UK. Exhibition Dates: 26 May – 1 October 2017 Open Tuesdays to Saturdays, 11am–6pm Thursdays until 8pm Sundays, 11am–5pm Last admission 45 minutes before closing Closed Mondays Tickets Advance booking online is recommended but tickets may be purchased in person on the day of the visit, subject to availability £9.90 adults* / £7.70 concessions* / £6 students * Includes 10% gift aid Children under 12 are free.
