May 14, 2024 141. Anna Sui | No Master Plan
I had the privilege of having a conversation with Anna Sui - one of the original independent designers who has conquered every category from ready-to-wear to beauty and fragrance…she’s always been way ahead of her time. But, in spite of the seemingly strategic way her business has unfolded over the past 40 years, she assured me that “there was no master plan”
