Everybody loves pie...

The sweetness of Anna Sui for Spring 2021 is hitting the spot for me big time this week…

For the collection, like so many of us during recent events, she was inspired by home.

Happily, for me I think she was also channelling some Little House on the Prairie giving us floral maxi sweetness, apron-inspired pinafore frocks and crochet lace-trim Teva sandals.

Count me in for all of that.

Inspired by the designer's childhood, as well as the Depression-era watercolorist Charles Burchfield and the French Impressionist painter Berthe Morisot, Sui dreamt up a collection with a homespun feel. Fashion's favorite quarantine garment — the house dress appears in several iterations, from covered in soothing mauve florals to embellished with intricate eyelet details and embroideries. Other household wardrobe staples featured include quilted jackets, printed shorts, embellished sweatshirts and negligée maxi dresses. There were even old T-shirts reimagined with tie die which Sui made in partnership with a Philadelphia-based textile design studio that works with deadstock clothing. 

Now lets all have some cherry pie and pick our favourite…
