Anna Sui has evolved into Gen Z's fashion whisperer, garnering celebrity fans from Olivia Rodrigo to Dua Lipa for her mix of modern and reissued archival fashions.

Her vintage styles are a hot commodity in shops, including Etsy, and among substackers. She has a steady stream of buzzy collaborations, the most recent an exclusive bridal offering with Ssense. Young celebs like Olivia Rodrigo and Dua Lipa have discovered her clothing.

“Like me, she’s a fashion fanatic and loves to push boundaries,” said McGrath. “Her shows are also just a lot of fun. Backstage is always lighthearted and playful, like her clothing, but we get the job done. It’s great to have experiences where creative types can have a good time and yet be absolutely serious about the job they’re doing.”Lexie Moreland/WWD
