Anna Sui catwalk

We have elevated on the nearest 3 collections of Anna Sui, and have the following conclusion as the below examples.
She mainly used of 3-4 theme colors + black as her color family in each of her collections.
In Anna Sui collections, eg. AW08/09 Catwalks, the main color scheme used the traid scheme.
In Anna Sui collections, eg. SS09 Catwalks, the main color scheme used single split color scheme, from warm colors to contrasting cool shades Red and orange, in contrast, cool watery hues are seeing their fair share of time on the runway as well.
In each of her designs, she chose one color from the color family and used the method of adjusting the value and chorma. In changes of color scheme, she use some analogous color to link with the upcoming color.


SS09 Catwalks








In SS09, the journey began south of the border, with warm colors and contrasting cool shades. Pink and orange abound and are often mixed with other sunny shades of yellow and gold. In contrast, cool watery hues are seeing their fair share of time on the runway as well. Mexican embroidery, cutwork, and lace-decorated chiffon fill the jaunty collection that happily strutted down the runway.


SS08 Catwalks














This season Anna love the 'rehearsal clothes' worn by the chorus girls in the backstage scenes from Busy Berkeley musicals. The look for Spring 2008 is all about 1930's and 40's Hollywood glamour as filtered through the nostalgic sensibility of 1970's glam. Her muses for the season are super groupies Sable Starr and Cyrinda Foxe, and Warhol superstars Jane Forth and Donna Jordan. I love Jean Harlow movies, Guy Bourdin photographs and Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band. The girls at Anna Sui reminded me of anime characters: they came down the runway with big toothy grins, crazy technicolor cropped 'dos, and eye makeup so heavy it was hard to recognize them.She used all the bright colors, lively and bold, like spring itself: energetic blue.









The inspiration of this collection is some opulent fairy tale, Anna Sui based her fall color palette on the shades you find in pre-Raphaelite paintings. She used all the iridescent peacock hues in vibrant ombres: ultramarine, periwinkle, cobalt, cyan, purple, heliotrope, amethyst, teal.
