The Good Buy

Anna Sui Talks '90s Grunge, Collecting Vintage, and Signature Style


Listen Later

Anna Sui has built an empire on individuality—and four decades later, she’s still chasing the thrill of discovery. On this episode of The Good Buy, the legendary fashion designer joins Harper’s BAZAAR to reflect on the vintage treasures, designer obsessions, and pop culture icons that have shaped her signature style. From unearthing gems in London's flea markets, to bidding on Elizabeth Taylor’s caftans at auction, Anna shares the stories behind her most unforgettable buys, and the joy of finding inspiration in the most unexpected places. She looks back on her early days at Parsons, going dancing with famed photographer Steven Meisel, the lasting influence of the 1960s on her personal style, and the joy of chasing down long-lost pieces (including her own past designs!). Whether she’s adding to her collection of high-street blazers or searching for that one-of-a-kind find, Anna proves that personal style is a lifelong treasure hunt, and the best pieces are always the ones that catch you by surprise.
