Lisa Marie Attends Anna Sui's Book Signing In London
A new book, which celebrates the career of New York's 'pirate queen of boho chic', the designer, Anna, Sui, reveals all - and is a walk down memory lane for all with a fascination for 'The Supers' and eclectic style with a rock 'n' roll edge.
Kate Moss poses as a 'Calamity Jane' with attitude, in a suede bikini-top, thonged jeans and feathered hat, from an early editorial shoot. Naomi Campbell, Cristy Turlington and Linda Evangelista take to the catwalk as 'Babydoll Brides' for Anna Sui's summer 1994 catwalk show. And Naomi is seen, way back in 1991, giving her famous over-the-shoulder, sultry pout, on the catwalk, in a black PVC biker jacket and checked micro-kilt.
Other pictures feature a cast of cult icons and celebrities, including Madonna, Sofia Coppola, Stevie Nicks, Rolling Stone Keith Richards' wife Patti Hansen with the couple's daughters Theodora and Alexandra, Lenny Kravitz, Anita Pallenberg, Karen Elson, and Agyness Deyn - all wearing Anna Sui and just some of the fans of her magic carpet ride approach to fashion. There's even a shot of Twiggy, in multi-coluor stripes from head to foot, photographed by Steven Meisel for Italian Vogue in 1993.
The book is packed with editorial shots and campaign images by the world's leading fashion photographers, including Ellen Von Unwerth, Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Gilles Bensimon, Craig McDean, Patrick Demarchelier, Bruce Weber, Sarah Moon, Steven Meisel, Peter Lindberg and Steven Klein.
'Anna Sui', by Andrew Bolton, the curator of The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and with a preface by Jack White of The White Stripes, and an introduction by Steven Meisel - two of Anna Sui's long-established friends - is the first to chronicle the entire scope of her twenty years at the head of the boho-rock style brigade, from her first-ever catwalk show in 1991, through sketch and mood boards to catwalk and glossy editorial spreads.
Anna Sui is in London this week for a book signing at Liberty of London, at 6.30pm, on Wednesday, December 1st. She will be accompanied by three of her best friends and fans, Naomi Campbell, Lisa Marie Presley and Martine Sitbon.
Anna Sui's collections are available from Liberty, Regent Street, London, W1/ liberty.co.uk; and Fenwick, New Bond Street, London, W1; 020 7629 9161
