The only designer that does Boho right is Anna Sui. Anna Sui's was pure unadulterated fun, with models who smiled, had punky stripes in their hair and and wore outfits that somehow merged the 30s with the 70s.
Sui concentrated on funky prints, great colour combos and mixing textures like chiffon and denim, silk and sequins, for a beautiful collection that put a modern spin on very retro shapes. Though hard to wear in reality, the high-waisted hotpants teamed with puff-sleeved blouses and layered tops were really cute, as were the signature printed dresses in diaphanous fabrics.
Easy tailoring was gorgeous too, with great wide-leg high waisted trousers teamed with waistcoats and 3/4 sleeve jackets. puffed sleeves, bows and scarves kept the look feminine and not too Bugsy Malone. The shoes had a 70s vibe - high platforms and perspex chunky heels.
