Sui's collections merge history and culture across time and space and have guided the world of fashion over the past two decades. For her innovative work, Sui has been called a designer who "never panders" by The New York Times, and earned the distinction of being named to Time magazine's list of the decade's top five fashion icons. In 2006, Fortune magazine estimated the collective value of Sui's fashion empire at over $400 million. In 2010, Sui featured her collection on the runway finale of the 14th cycle of America's Next Top Model. Sui continues to design and manufacture her signature collection in her New York City headquarters on Fashion Avenue. There she has ardently fought to keep the industry alive and has spearheaded a campaign to "Save the Garment Center", which was highlighted during Fashion Week in September 2008.
Anna Sui Shoes premiered on the runway for the fall collection in 1994. Manufactured in Venice, Italy, the shoe collection includes both day and evening styles, in velvet, silk, patent leather, snake and lizard skin, shearling and suede.
