Bath in Fashion 2015

Jaeger conversation on style.

Fashion writer Hywel Davies in conversation with Anna Sui (esteemed designer)

Inspiration

·         NYC wedding as a kid [from Detroit]
·         Advert in back of Life magazine for Parsons School of Fashion – just applied and got on course
·         Had a dream she wanted to create (from Vogue and Mademoiselle magazines)
·         Influenced by NY Punk scene
·         Shopaholic
o   New outfit from a thrift shop every day for $5 to look like a rockstar

Getting in there

·         Spent time at college mostly going out rather than studying, dropped out in favour of a job after 2 years
·         Got her collection into Macey’s and other boutique stores
·         Used library/internet/reference book collection for research each fashion collection

How to make it in fashion

From ambition & a great circle of friends
·         Accomplish something tangible/discrete each day
·         Focus
·         Make decisions (choices to make sacrifices to stay on path to success)
·         Right place, right time
“Eventually it all works out” – Anna Sui

Letter to Wera Hobhouse, MP for Bath regarding lived experience in the UK and her new legislation Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023

  I would like to share my recent experiences with you regarding this legislation, and would ask for some advice on my plans for my recovery from schizophrenia.   I feel that I have not received protection from harassment at work for my protected characteristics: I am an Anglo Indian and from a visual inspection look like the leader of the Indian opposition (to my eyesight), yet I have to deal with comments ranging from ‘I couldn’t tell you were Indian’ to ‘you look like you are from Southern Europe’, or ‘where are you from’ even though to my ear I usually speak in the central Bath accent as opposed to RP.     I have the diagnoses of dyslexia, autism and serious mental health (schizophrenia).

We are mighty full of ourselves now, aren't we?

Vice-President Communications, Anthony Gaskell OE. Formula 1 needs more money in it to go back to how it was before. They need to get more serious. This is reminiscent of the good old days, the jet-set life and clean country living, where furniture and furnishings were made to the highest possible standard and there was no compromise on quality. Bad eye sight is like bad posture, it can be corrected without drugs or mechanical support.

Ageing is a disease. A white British man with a PIO card as a businessman in Dubai , disappointed at a meeting.
