Sui’s Cinematic Spring – For Anna Sui’s spring 2012 collection, the designer was inspired by American fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez. Indeed the new season looked as it came straight out of a sketchbook page with bold brash colors that gave a nod to fashion ranging from the 40s to 70s. For spring, Sui moved away from the western inspired look of seasons past but continued to use feminine prints and dolled-up accessories. The larger life looks were completed by red lips, retro hair and rouge blush fit for the silver screen.
