#NYFW Anna Sui Fall 2015

The Vikings are coming! For fall 2015, fashion designer Anna Sui took inspiration from Nordic culture and interior design. You see contemporary bold prints in the style of Marimekko. You see layered textures of knit, fur, and patterns upon pattern to give the Viking look a contemporary update. Who knew Hagar the Horrible was a fashion icon?

As with every season, that theme was mixed with Sui's bohemian and rock and roll aesthetic. Her signature purple is always there. Her flea market sensibility is always there. While I haven't always liked her collection, this one was a lot of fun with several outfits I would actually want.

Anna Sui for me always embodied the club kid of the 1990s, but like myself, we all had to grow up. Her look maintains the fun sense to please her diehard fans overseas but matured with more versatile pieces for fans that grew with her. She even just launched a home collection for fans who want to live her lifestyle all day and all night. I wonder if that includes a couch shaped like a Viking boat?
