ABOUT VOGUE
Vogue is the authority on fashion news, culture trends, beauty coverage, videos, celebrity style, and fashion week updates.
I hope this house gets preserved 100 years later, so much gorgeous and unique art history
I hope an even richer person rips that fireplace out of the wall.
Preserved forever*
It's not all antiques. She just liked the style. It wouldn't be a great historical building.
it's an apartment it will be plain and empty a week after she dies
I think she said it was an apartment in Greenwich Village.
Her joy in collecting Vogues when young and then BEING IN Vogue melts my heart. She has style in spades.
💛👍
Much more style than most fashion designers. And she's just so cool and interesting. I've adored her for 30 years.
I want her Vogue’s and Elizabeth Taylor’s Caftan when she’s done with them! 💜💜💜
She really so so stylish. Compellingly so.
To me this is a cluttered mess but seeing how much joy it brings her is lovely to see
It's like she's taking us into the world of Alice in wonderland, each room has different vibes, exploring each room felt like an adventure to different world
Yes 🙌
I'm morphed into a minimalist these days, but seeing this designer in her space, with her attention to detail, plus her sheer joy is so refreshing!
Yes me too, my friend would love this ❤
As a maximalist, this really feeds my soul. So much character and so many stories!
Yes! So happy to see people who decorate for themselves and not necessarily to follow any trends!
it must be so hard to die as a maximalist and to live each day with the thought that you cant take your stuff to heaven or purgatory.
@@eduardochavacano what's hard is to live each day as a maximalist without these objects of affection - we dont know what's on the afterlife - it could be better😊
Ditto
maximalism sucks it doesn't let you breath to much stuff is visual contamination
That place is STUNNING. I have seen so many boring New York apartments, people with money and no creativity or imagination. Obviously Anna Sui would have those things in spades, but this is beyond the pale! I'm DYING over this!!! And to have anything created or drawn by Hillary Knight would be such an honour and so special!!
I absolutely agree with you!! 👍👍
Yes, I'm so sick of the grey and white look. I love color. So warm and inviting.
Amy sedaris w the colorful bookset shes never read
A whole wonderful collection compiled together by an arty person
Lol well I’m sure being rich has something to do with her place.
Like living in a jewelry box with a velvet lining. Gorgeous.
This was one of the best designed houses I’ve ever seen. Pure class and an impeccable eye.
Agree with you completely
This apartment is maximalist on crack. Though I'm a minimalist, I can appreciate the beauty of Anna's abode. I also love how she didn't knock down walls for an "open concept" look. There is something to be said about having designated spaces-very Parisian in a sense. Bravo!
💛👍
Agreed!
quite. I also like the calm connecting hallways between the rooms. We only see them briefly but they allow a rest for the senses during transition.
With more walls you can decorate and showcase more Art!
@@michellebyrom6551 ample hallways are one of the best features of old NYC apartments. Not only do they break up the space, they are ready space for your own personal art gallery. I'm living in a very open space apartment at the moment and really miss good long hallways.
Her rooms remind me of that iconic bedroom in Howls Moving Castle; really beautiful! Tbh I’m personally more of a minimalist myself so this wouldn’t be something I’d choose for myself but I still appreciate and think what she’s done with her spaces is pretty cool.
YESS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!!
OMG YES
I love studio Ghibli movies ! Howl’s moving Castle and When Marnie was there are my favourites ✨
Not just a house.. it’s an art museum😱✨
You should see my mom's house. I told her people should pay to come see it
Her brand is an incredibly authentic, perfectly realised expression of HERSELF. What an accomplishment, what vision, what drive and flair. She's an extraordinary woman and such a pleasure to listen to and look at, wow. I'm biased because her company have been so good to me and when someone impresses me like that they have me for life. A wonder. I wish you well Anna and hope 2023 is a kind and and merciful year to you in every way. Oh and that mural, the fireplace, the red cabinet full of Vogues...what an incredible eye. I love it.
It feels like walking around in alice in the wonderworld, it feels like a trippy colorful dream 😻
@Wandi Futy Su nombre se escribe Selena, no Celina.
@Wandi Futy Good for you :/
Yes. I love her style. :D
Underworld? Ive never heard of that adaptation
Exactly!💖
I love the amount of personal touch she's given to the details of every room. Its like recreating the play ground of the mind in your physical space.
Great comment
agreed, It’s beautiful! Only Anna Sui can have created this apartment because of how personal it is
Amazing comment
She is so cool. Her house and pieces are so ornate and decorative. I love how she appreciates the workmanship and has a story to tell about each piece she has picked.
OMG! That’s the most beautiful bathroom I’ve ever seen in my life! I love it so much!
Her products are like whimsical goth and her house totally represents that. I love it.
I nearly fainted when I saw those vogue volumes! 😍 Anna Sui’s apartment is such a direct reflection of her, her aesthetic and her brand! Perfection! She seems so joyful 🥰🌸💓
Same I love how it's bounded and I love her creative style.
I love that she designed the house with so many items that she all loves, and the way she utilizes it makes it clear it is a house that’s lived in. One that’s fashionable AND functional
By far the most stunning apartments showed by Vogue. Anna Sui has exquisite taste and her choice of objects is incredible.
✨💖✨“We do do the dodo.” I love how she connected with her tiles. And a secret door to a fab library! What incredible treasures she has pulled together. Others will condemn what she has here, which brings to mind the poem “Hector the Collector,” by Shel Silverstein. And maybe “Invitation.” Delightful, absolutely delightful. I would love to just sit in her library, a little talk, a little laughter, a lot of reading. A room dedicated to Helena Rubinstein…. But egad! Mirrors all over the bathroom! I’d have to do my business with my eyes closed! Love Anna Sui, and this glimpse into her personal space gives more meaning to her designs.
have a wonderful day, Margaret
Hi as a foreigner ı couldn't understand what that means. If you explain it to me I would be grateful.
@@NG-bf3sm If you are talking about the "We do do the dodo." The dodo is a flightless exotic bird🐦, that is extinct☠. so her saying "we do do the dodo" is like a little inside joke of using the dodo's name to say (we do do make the tiles, If that makes sense)
@@TheAristocrat. thanks a lot
Anna in Wonderland? I love this fairytale apartment...It's breathtakingly beautiful!
What I would call a Victorian Exotic concept. Very stunning, mesmerising and almost hypnotising. Although I would get overwhelmed living in this kind of space daily, the whole ensemble is an absolute art and very much reflects Anna’s personal style you see in her designs. This looks like a museum.
Your apartment is like an museum everywhere you turn there is something beautiful and interesting, colorful and dramatic. Would love to sit in your library, and read the books and the magazines with that beautiful view. You are an inspiration .
Wow.. just wow.. I need to re-watch this.. There's no way one can handle all those glorious details and textures and color combinations all in one glance!!
Playful yet calm, light and airy but grounded.. I really love the contrast she created in every single room. So digging this!!
Same here...I ha to save this to my favorites so that I can easily find it whenever I'm in the mood to see some flair.
I loved how she blended western and Eastern decor together.
Her house is literally the room of Yubaba of Spirited Away!
That secret library is TO DIE FOR. I love it so much.
So humble and you can tell she genuinely adores every one of these treasures.
I love how she calls it camp and yet it's extremely beautiful and sumptuous. It makes me reconsider the concept of beauty as something that doesn't have to be serious.
I love that each room is unique! Some designers say the entire house has to carry the same vibe throughout but I don't agree. I love how each space is unique and magical. What a lovely way to express all your interests and artistic visions!
I love how this is a complete rebellion against the modern day trend toward minimalism
What an utter joy of lovely details and stories behind every one. Love Anna Sui ! Thanks for sharing : - )
💛👍
Wow I thought nothing could top Dita Von Teese's house for me in terms of maximum maximalist interior design inspiration, but this just tops it! Especially because there's a lot of Asian influences and pieces in this apartment, and it appeals to my Asian maximalist old-world soul
Every time I hear the name Anna Sui, it's special to me, I was in charge of Anna Sui's alpaca style samples for a while in a company here in Peru
I remember working full time with the team on my charge to ship the samples in time for New York Fashion Week 2010 ❤
wow since young, I have always loved Anna Sui designs but I never thought of googling her, today is the first time I see how she looks like. her house is really beautiful, I can totally see her style in it! I love how she really appreciates design, you can see by the way she talks about each and every detail in her house decor, design and books 🤍
I worked in one of her stores for almost 2 years and loved it. Always fun to see what she comes out with next. I still support the brand today.
I've always loved Anna Sui. The first time I went to Hong Kong, I went to this department store there, I was just strolling around and I came across her makeup line stall. I honestly wanted to buy some but I was on a budget so I only tried the testers, hehe... I've already known her brand before but have never actually seen her makeup line in the flesh. I was so in awe of the details. They were mostly black & purple. I love pink but Amethyst is my birthstone so I love purple, too. Then I went to an Anna Sui shop and I could only afford a piece of hand towel, lol! I still have it. Her designs are like a gothic Lilly Pulitzer + Betsey Johnson + Vivienne Westwood.
you're lying through your teeth. You wrote that you went to her make up line stall and tried the testers, and you've never seen her make up line in person.... you're full of bulloney.
You just reminded me I had an Anna Sui cream eyeshadow that was the most gorgeous shimmering turquoise! And the little plastic pot was ornate. She’s unique and lovely.
Beautiful! She did a fantastic job designing her house.
This apartment is plush! Consist of so many personal and unique items that simply makes up her personality and style. It’s meaningful and each room has a story behind it! This is art!
I love her style, love her taste, love the colors. That fireplace and the bathroom! It's like a fairytale world.
I should be studying, buuuuut this is more fun
Fun moment 😊
Same
Sometimes LIFE calls. 😉
Meeee toooo!! I have an analysis paper with Annotated Bibliography to write, BUT THIS IS MUCH more funnnn! Happy studies!!
I like that she tells the story of what goes on in these rooms, as well as just looking at the visuals
I love how joyful & happy this apartment is. Everything is so gorgeous. I love the look at creative peoples space & Anna Sui is definitely creative
I really love Anna Sui. She's as practical as she is whimsical. When does the sign up begin for her masterclass?
LOVE HER!! HER HOUSE JUST RADIATES GOOD VIBES! 🤍
This house is... Just made me speechless. This is so stunning and like a classical fairytale. 💖
Everything about her apartment is STUNNING but that mirrored bathroom…. Omg. Amazing 😍😍😍
Apartment full of art. So beautiful, love the unique style of her room decor.
Love her vibe. I've worked with Anna before [many years ago]. She's amazing!
Her house is literally her Anna Sui fashion stamp. Love it!!!
I normally hate wallpaper but I love her wallpaper and cute little intricate things.
Wow I love just how whimsical her place is decorated! It’s so characteristic and I love how there are so many different unique stories for each piece she has but each room feels cohesive
The Red Room, the fireplace, the Vogue collection, the little decorative pieces, the wallpapers, the BATHROOM ahhhhhhh. It's a room out of a fantasy story book. She says she hopes to see you soon vogue. YOU BETTER VISIT SOON VOGUE **sobs in beauty**
That wallpaper, the butterfly wing paintings, that fireplace, so many incredible objects that I want, that mirror room! So much creativity and art.
And she does create GREAT MOODS for rooms and the dresses/outfits she makes. THIS IS ART.
I gasped at the mirrored bathroom. I love all the incredible details throughout!
Hers has always been one of my favorites. I have a magazine spread saved where she had the beautiful black lace shower curtains. I had never seen anything like that. ❤️🐈⬛
I had the exact same article clipped 😍 loved that lace shower curtain. She’s so inspirational.
I love this so much - not everything is to my taste and style, but it's such an incredible breath of fresh air in this series to all the soulless, bland, corporate minimalist designs. Minimalism can be gorgeous when it's done right, but so much of it nowadays is so bland. You can tell she has so carefully curated her apartment with things she genuinely loves, not just things for the sake of having things.
love this woman, her fashion is so vibrant and her use of purple is so elegant and pretty!!!
Anna Sui has never disappointed me on coloring. I love her partnership with Japan which offers cute accessories like hand mirrors and cotton pad box.
oh! this was just lovely! You can see that everything in her house is selected with love and has specific story, she really created a migical house for herself.
Her house is not a surprise - it's so true to the way she designs. A house like this would be too overwhelming for me to live in but I would love to visit it. You could just sit in one chair in one room and spend days looking at and discussing all the things in that one room.
It’s very obvious that she finds these furniture and other creations out of love. She does her own thing and it’s very interesting to see.
I want to watch this video overnight before I go to sleep the place is a fairy tale of enchantment and wonder. Thanks Anna Sui for your artistry
Yeah... That's right.... Copy that....
Please keep making these segments, so beutiful and sensitive and enlightening to the creative concept of making something your personal space... Thank you
I shared this with my daughter who works in a "high-end thriftshop" charity. At her young age she could appreciate and recognize antiques and is a true maximalist.
I did not share this with my obsessive compulsive minimalist friend
You only get the one life, so live with what you love, not what is in so-called fashion. What a wonderful collection.
Anna Sui has a style all her own - - She masterfully plays with contrast and compliment with color, space and object - - and I love it! 🦋
Absolutely lovely. Exact opposite of minimalism 😁 and I adore it. So lush and exciting, yet inviting and cozy. Quite a treat to see one of the homes of this artist.
Oh, I love the butterfly wall. All the picture was so beautiful. You have so many collectible items and everything put together so well.
Those fire place tiles, aaaamazing, that window in the bathroom, same! Whole place, wow, wow!
Anna Sui is amazing ! Her research in finding these beautiful objects and the stories behind them are wonderful! What beautiful apartment .Thank for sharing!
anna if you’re reading this, you are everything i aspire to be, i love you 🥹
I could spend weeks walking around in that house enjoying all the color and designs. Such pretty wall papers!
Anna Sui's N/Y apartment is exquisitely beautiful. She has created a space of pure enjoyment. A masterful, visual feast. 🌹🌹
Her wallpaper and murals are magnificent. I would never leave those rooms.
I love how the style of each room is different but it all comes together so nicely.
The joy she takes in the detail and provenance of her beautiful collections is really so wonderful to see.
very artsy and satisfying to look at all the details 🫶
Goodness, this place is extraordinary! I need that bathroom
This has to be one of my favorite tours. I’ve adored Anna Sui since I was a teenager. This was a feast for the eyes.
Amazing beauty and taste! This is a tutorial for maximalists how to arrange your stuff without being cluttered. There is still plenty of space and air, and it is so clean, in spite lots of objects! And colours are amazing, too 💕
What a collection! There is so much art everywhere. It's not easy to combine so many things, colours textures and patterns harmoniously but she managed!
what a delightful treat to the eyes. i especially adore her living room and bedroom. i always liked Anna, and her clothing line and fashion shows are fun, so i'm not surprised that i love her house as well. i also like that, imo, she's not elitist about her objects of affection. like when talking about big names in illustration or movies. she doesn't brag, she just seems genuinely happy to have things that are special to her. her apartment is a combination of very unique taste and ideas, much like the hard-working and humble fashion artist that she is. thanks Vogue
This was amazing. Somebody make this apartment into a museum
Love it when people actually bring out their entire personality when designing a space and really make it their own, so fun
Also it definitely maximalism but it’s still so calm and just homey
So beautiful! Love the darker decor and the richness in her collection.
Anna's stores were the inspiration for my master bedroom. Watching this has given me new inspiration for my house.
I love EVERYTHING about her
Omg I've always LOVED her style... I'll have to re-watch this many times for all the incredible details. So FUN!
such joyful self-expression through art. Love her so much.
Breathtaking and so whimsical, straight out of a fairy tale book!
i looooove her and her sense for detail. the bathroom is one of the most beautiful i have ever seen
What a lovely person down to earth yet her her taste and style is so off this planet I loved going with her on her journey of things of affection .
The whimsy and character in each room is beautifully curated. Loved seeing this!
Absolutely delightful spaces. So much going on but not overwhelming. Anna Sui's visionary perspectives kept me captivated.
Objects of affection. I just love that!
love this. anna sui makes my favorite perfume. love her style
All the butterfly plates were just gorgeous I. Love the butterflies also thank you so much for sharing it with us
