Book Synopsis



From her iconic hippie and grunge-inspired collections to her beloved baby-doll dresses, Anna Sui's clothes defined '90s fashion.

A favorite of Gen Z and nostalgic Gen Xers, the '90s remain a beloved moment in fashion and culture. It was the last analog decade--a time when DIY aesthetics, zines, and landlines were the norm. This book goes in depth with the designer in her own words about her raucous shows and the many inspirations for her clothes that were the epicenter of the fashion world.

A self-taught historian of culture, art, and fashion, Sui samples music, books, movies, photography, and art in her designs. From the iconic slip dresses donned by the "it girls" of the moment, like Winona Ryder and pop icon Madonna, to the baby-doll dresses favored by Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, each chapter details the defining moments and trends of the era, ranging from the rebellious energy of punk, grunge, and rock, to the ethos behind her preppy and vintage-inspired designs. Featured throughout the book are interviews with friends and colleagues Marc Jacobs, Sofia Coppola, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington Burns, and Steff Yotka, who talk about Sui's singular sartorial genius.



Review Quotes




"You can't talk about New York fashion without talking about Anna Sui, especially when looking back at the '90s: a defining decade of the industry that brought supermodels, all-star designers, and radical minimalism to the forefront. When Sui reminisces about the era, one that brought her first runway show and further catapulted her to mainstream success, she can't help but think about how much the industry has changed since--and how novel everything felt to her at the time. It's a sentiment that permeates the pages of her new book with Rizzoli, The Nineties...She explains, "[In this book], you see my backstage photos, and everything is so chill. We're just all hanging out. It's not chaotic--it's almost like a family of people, between the hair, the makeup, the models, and then my friends. Everyone was just always hanging out. And then if you also look at the audiences, they were friends of friends, they were buyers, or they were editors.'" -- ELLE.COM

"And there's Anna Sui at the center of it all, in a new book coming out this autumn with Rizzoli. The past always looks rosy, but it looks especially halcyon through Anna Sui's eyes. Her whimsical collections, dreamed up from her own fashion fantasies, have become true fashion lore, helping to define the look and spirit of the 1990s. In the nearly 200 page photobook, Sui, Coppola, Marc Jacobs, Linda Evangelista, and Christy Turnlington recount the wild and crazy times of the 1990s with rare and never-before-seen images from Sui's archive, all compiled by curator Ileen Gallagher. The book is a treasure trove of fashion at its purest and most fun, when designers were artists and imaginators, and when models were besties with great style." -- i-D

"A catalog of trends like punk, glam rock, and grunge, [The Nineties] is a kind of yearbook for the models, celebrities, and cultural misfits that Sui snagged in her hand-embroidered nets during her first decade at New York Fashion Week. In the book's 176 pages, Sui traces her creative process visually with sketches, fabric swatches, show photos, and film stills mixed with commentary from friends and collaborators like Sofia Coppola." -- WMAGAZINE.COM

"...captures the spirit of a decade through the lens of one of its most influential designers. Packed with iconic slip dresses, baby-doll looks, and grunge-era inspiration, plus insights from Marc Jacobs, Sofia Coppola, and Linda Evangelista, it makes a perfect coffee table addition." -- L'OFFICIEL USA

"...celebrates fashion designer Sui by immersing readers in the gritty, playful, music-obsessed 1990s." -- BOOKPAGE
