Her first runway presentation in 1991 established a public platform for designs combining rock culture with romantic and historical references.

Her work extends to textiles, accessories, cosmetics and interiors. The World of Anna Sui, first presented at London’s Fashion and Textile Museum in 2017, subsequently travelled to New York’s Museum of Arts and Design.
