Since presenting her first runway show in 1991, fashion designer Anna Sui has transformed her singular sensibility into a clothing empire. Now a fashion icon whose designs can be found all over the world, her distinctive style is eclectic, vibrant, and always evolving. And that eccentric spirit is captured in the films Sui loves, their aesthetics ranging from meticulous compositions of elegant beauty ( Last Year at Marienbad ) to displays of rock-and-roll anarchy ( Gimme Shelter ).
