The Stuff Sui Dreams Are No Longer Made Of

You know things are bad when Anna Sui is forced to tone down her line’s signature look and not make clothes that are “totally frivolous.”
The designer talks about the concessions she and her contemporaries in the industry are making for this year’s Fashion Week, in today’s issue of The New York Times.

I’ll resist the urge to complain about this too much, because I respect that designers, like the rest of us, have to make a living—and give the people what they want (enough to pay for). Even if their talents are wasted to a degree as a result.
