The World of Anna Sui

Born and raised in metro Detroit, Anna Sui reinvented fashion and pop culture with her signature rock-and-roll romantic label in the 1990s and has remained an artistic fashion icon ever since. The World of Anna Sui at Cranbrook Art Museum represents the international American fashion designer’s return to the city, a cultural hub of rock and roll, techno, and bold artistic experimentation.
