Discover the bold blend of ’60s nostalgia and modern edge in Anna Sui’s Fall 2013 collection, where vibrant prints, colored hosiery and retro silhouettes converge to celebrate legwear as style statement. From playful tights to knee-socks paired with shifted dresses and loafers, this collection transformed pantyhose from accessory to key story element, embodying Sui’s signature mix of pop culture reference and runway polish.
Anna Sui has just released an awesome collection at New York’s fashion week with an awesome array of multicolored patterned clothing inspired by 60s fashion matched with gorgeous custom made legwear items. From opaque bright colored tights to multicolored patterned socks there’s a little bit of everything, we also loved the black pantyhose with embroidered golden circular patterns and some lace tights in purple and green tones.
Below is a small selection of some or favourite looks, you can check out the rest of the catwalk photos at Fashionising and see exactly what we’re talking about, really gorgeous combinations all around. Anna Sui’s website is also very playful and full of other suggestions, be sure to take a look at it.
Anna Sui was born in 1964 and named one of the “Top 5 Fashion Icons of the Decade”, her creations never cease to surprise and the use of original playful legwear is a constant on the collections she brings forward. She wanted to be a fashion designer from a very early age and attended Parsons The New School for Design after reading about it in Life Magazine but after graduating she had to struggle for quite some years before establishing herself within the highly competitive American fashion industry.
