Anna Sui FALL 2024 READY-TO-WEAR

Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple was a reference for Sui’s fall collection, as were the first editions of Virginia Woolf. She filtered these through her own fashion origin story, adding ’90s grunge stylings and a soundtrack stacked with hits by Sonic Youth, the Breeders, Smashing Pumpkins, and Elastica. It’s always a history lesson at Sui’s shows, but this season her mash-ups were particularly multi-layered, the orange tweed of a kilt conjuring the 1960s and the fleece of the Fair Isle patterns evoking the gorpcore-y here-and-now.
