Anna Sui Fall 08 Runway at Fashion Week

Anna Sui mixes it up with grape tones, tons of metallics, and hippie-inspired (is this the fashionably polite way of saying 'totally drugged up'?) runway looks. The collection also reminded me of Olivia Newton John's cult classic Xanadu, but maybe that's my trip. In Xanadu, Olivia Newton John passes through life on roller skates surrounded by flashing neon lights.

This dress (shown above) in subtle, floral fabric is my favorite from Sui's collection, more classic Parisian than Paris Commune.
