I hope this house gets preserved 100 years later, so much gorgeous and unique art history

[willythepool]

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

[marywintourable]

Her joy in collecting Vogues when young and then BEING IN Vogue melts my heart. She has style in spades.

[marih]

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!

[melizmatea]

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!!

[JazzFlop]

This was one of the best designed houses I’ve ever seen. Pure class and an impeccable eye.

[hereforever]

As a maximalist, this really feeds my soul. So much character and so many stories!

[ciganyweaverandherperiwink]

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.

[Viamii]

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.

[rhyfeddu]

Like living in a jewelry box with a velvet lining. Gorgeous.

[britbc]

Her products are like whimsical goth and her house totally represents that. I love it.

[StakiLolita]

Not just a house.. it’s an art museum😱✨

[TheDesertDaffodil]

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.

[bestkoi]

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

[mapatterson]

✨💖✨“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.

[Pinkarrie]

OMG! That’s the most beautiful bathroom I’ve ever seen in my life! I love it so much!

[s.c.o.r.p.i.o.n.i.c]

It feels like walking around in alice in the wonderworld, it feels like a trippy colorful dream 😻

[hildaelson]

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.

[stacyjang]

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 🥰🌸💓

[Voguegirl-dnvy]

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.
