When I heard that Anna Sui was inspired by the "belle epoque" for this collection, I suddenly had visions of most theatrical can-can dresses. The outfits that played in my imagination were heavily influenced by the grotesque amount of times that I've watched "Moulin Rouge." While my envisioned outfits were decent enough, I was concerned. Anna Sui makes clothing that while full of magic and creativity, maintain a certain wearability. The can-can dresses in my head did not have very much wearability. But on seeing her collection, I breathed a sigh of relief. This is the artsier side of the Belle Epoque. It's all deliciously french and the hats are to die for.
I can really appreciate how much this collection caters to my recently acquired obsession with boots. Also the rich and wild patterns on the tights are ones that ignite a certain fire in my heart. What do you think? No matter what, I'm sure you can't deny just how unbelievable those hats are.
I really like clothes. Like really really like them. I'm also partial to classic rock and F. Scott Fitzgerald novels, but seriously. Fashion trumps all. When I'm not musing about riding boots and little black dresses, I'm either studying or exploring Chicago with my friends. Life is beautiful.
