Fashion should be fun and accessible.

When I started my own business, my main reason for designing clothes was that I wanted to dress rock stars and the people who went to rock concerts. It didn't go beyond that aspiration at that point.

I always say the next big thing will happen in unexpected places - up and coming cities that aren't necessarily boom markets.

I love history. I love art. I like to mix it all together, but in the end it somehow has to all make sense.

I just love the way the '60s rock stars put themselves together, because they were like dandies and peacocks. They really lived out their fantasies - and dressed their fantasies.

I think whenever people talk about the 'Anna Sui woman,' they're talking about someone that's probably kind of more downtown, and there's always like this ambiguity: Is she a good girl, or a bad girl?

Every time that I wanted to give up, if I saw an interesting textile, print what ever, suddenly I would see a collection.
