We do all the first samples here and all the production in the garment center, within these few blocks... I love the process.
-
I'm still dreaming.

Every time that I wanted to give up, if I saw an interesting textile, print what ever, suddenly I would see a collection.
-
I love the whole story of why something happened when it did and that’s what I put into the collections.

I think whenever people talk about the 'Anna Sui woman,' they're talking about someone that's probably kind of more downtown, and there's always like this ambiguity: Is she a good girl, or a bad girl?

I'm always about optimism and exuberance. It's what I feel about fashion.

I live for fashion.

We picked up Madonna at The Ritz to go to the Gaultier show together, and she took off her coat. At this point she hadn’t even said a word to me, but she leaned over and said to me, Anna, I have a surprise for you, and she showed me she was wearing my dress.

With the way that the times are, we're all looking for a little fantasy... Fantasy is such an important part of my fashion...

I am inspired by New York...
-
I think a dream can take you farther than anything.
-
...all the formulas have flown out of the window.

I love research. I love learning...

I’ve known a lot of talented people but the people that really, really, achieve success – there is ambition, focus and drive behind it.
