Anna Sui!"},"content":{"rendered":"

Last week, I attended the “Blue” conference held by Initiatives in Art and Culture, which included a talk featuring British designer Zandra Rhodes and American designer Anna Sui<\/a>. I planned to wear my red and pink Zandra Rhodes chiffon dress to that panel<\/a>, but at the last minute, I was inspired to go with a vintage Ossie Clark wool dress that was more appropriate for the season. It was also blue, befitting the conference’s theme. At the same time, I felt like the dress paid tribute to Zandra’s work due to its eye-catching print and the handkerchief points on the sleeves — design elements that have been Zandra signatures throughout her 50-year career<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was very satisfied with my decision until I spotted Zandra and her iconic pink hair.<\/p>\n

Then, I said to myself, “Self! What were you thinking?! You should have worn the red and pink Zandra dress and gotten a photo with Zandra!” I kept wallowing in my fashion mistake until Anna Sui came in … and complimented the Ossie Clark dress more than once. OMG! As I told Anna, I’ve followed her career since her first show in 1991<\/a>. How could I not: THE supermodels — Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss — all walked her runway.<\/p>\n
