Fashion Week

Anna Sui Gets Even; Audience Gets T-Shirts

1359821141_ccc415cd8c.jpg
We’ve gotten a lot of gorgeous makeup this week, but our favorite swag so far is definitely the Anna Sui t-shirt left on everyone’s seats.

“Forever Wanted,” it screams in huge letters, “Don Cassidy and the Sundance Jin: Reward, $21,000. Thou Shalt Not Steal.”

Sadly, we anticipate big stores will kill to swipe her latest designs, a parade of electric prints that marry mothball chic with graphic punk decadence.

But though Forever 21 may try to (badly) cut the beige Carly Simon suit worn by Coco Rocha, or sloppily sew the shiny floral gown that swathed Caroline Trentini, at least we know they won’t copy this t-shirt -

After all, the mass chains understand many things, but irony isn’t one of them.

hah! that's just really, really great.
if f21 were witty enough, they'd come back with a retaliation shirt.
the war of the tshirts, of sorts.

though we must point out again that she "references" many older designers......no one is completely innocent here!

Wow, that's classic.

Yeah, I've always noticed that f21's bags say john 3:16 on the bottom... but I've never looked to see what it is, I just thought "huh, that looks like a bible verse..."

Anna Sui should appreciate the fact that people are
still using her tired trend direction, she is full of herself...ANNA SUI IS THE ROSIE O'DONNELL ..WHEN HER LINE IS FAILING AGAIN, "DON'T HATE-APPRECIATE

I Love all you bible experts that are quoting the bible like there is no tomorow, have you heard of a verse that quotes ''HE THAT IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE".
