Anna Sui admitted that she fell in love with “the candy box quality of illustrations in the Gazette du Bon Ton” and was inspired by the Wiener Werkstatte Decorative Arts, both of which served as inspirations for her unapologetically soft, feminine, rather exotic collection. It was marked by delicate lingerie touches, flutter sleeves, pretty blouses, slouchy cropped pants, handkerchief hems, crochet knitwear, embroidered organza, chiffon and point d’esprit, and most importantly, a newly elongated and eased up silhouette. The collection was noteworthy for its emphasis on prints and patterns: border prints, parasol floral prints, butterfly prints, cherry flower prints, which was also exemplified by the first number out- Naomi Campbell in a blue butterfly border stripe printed double chiffon dress with handkerchief hem carrying a matching parasol. Soft and strong (not jarring shades) were used in combination and of course, there was black and white.

Among the notable pieces were the flesh cherry flowers print on dotted chiffon flutter sleeved blouse with flesh and natural lame striped linen cropped pant; an absolutely darling white daisy embroidered organza dress; the perfectly beautiful black mousseline and lace smock dress worn by Carolyn Murphy, a platinum and metallic loose clutch coat worn over a matching slouchy cropped pant and sequined halter top; and several beaded or sequined numbers (a pearl all over sequined tunic, an antique gold and black deco border sequined top worn over a floral print chiffon dress, and the platinum/natural metallic scallop brocade clutch coat worn over a sequined halter and platinum/natural metallic scallop brocade cropped pant.
