Calling all fashion lovers, because the nineties, seventies and sixties have called and they want to return to your wardrobe. Luckily, New York-based fashion designer Anna Sui was tapped by Old Navy for her first-ever designer collaboration – hosted by Y2K singer-songwriter PinkPantheress.
“Anna really understands who our customer is, what she wants, how she lives, and we knew this was a great moment to convey that,” Zac Posen, creative director of Gap Inc. and chief creative officer of Old Navy, tells Refinery29. “Anna is a design and style icon and I thought it would make perfect sense to bring that to another Nineties icon, Old Navy, to bring this to market.”
Known for “her whimsy, her magic, her cool and her rock ‘n’ roll energy,” as Posen put it, Sui’s almost-famous Penny Lane-meets-witchy Stevie Nicks aesthetic is on full display in this “bohemian collection.” Think afghan faux fur coats (aka penny lane coats), lace cardigans, floral dusters, and satin slip skirts (one of Sui’s favorite styles).
But we’re not just raving about the styles, but also the prices. “There’s a lot of Anna Sui DNA in this collection, but with Old Navy expertise and in very accessible, affordable pieces,” Sui tells Refinery29 of the collection, which ranges between a $10 floral headscarf and a $120 vegan suede coat.
