Summary: Anna talks about her fragrances and the inspirations for her designs.
Vocabulary: vintage 老式的;古典的 vagrant 流浪者 grunge 頹廢風 preppy貴族雅痞 faux fur人造毛
Reflection: Not until I watched this video did I know that Anna Sui doesn't just produce fragrances but also design clothes. The uniqueness and weirdness of her fashion designs truly caught my attention. Although the colors and patterns of her designs seem a bit uncoordinated at first sight,  I can feel their aesthetic perception the longer I appreciate them. It's really mind-blowing how the styles of her designs can be so diverse! I should really be as broad as Anna and try not to live on other people's perspective when doing what I like.

Anna Sui is 68 years old!!! A famous designer from China-America. She was planted to be a designer at her 4 age. I can not believe that a little girl has a strong motivation for her whole life. Her clothes are separated into 2 parts. One is for the good girl and the other for "bad" girl. I think it's quite interesting.

Reflection:    In the interview she said "I really always wanted to a designer and when I graduated f                           rom college. I wanted to go to design school and at the time my father  said I'm not                               paying more for education. So I ended up going to work at Vogue and there I sort of                             climb the rope and became an editor there." And it was tuched me. I think as long as I                         have so many chance to let myself get near from the dream, even do not have to care                           about the money for education. I definitely have to work harder to complete my dream,                       just like what she did.

Regardless of the price, where to put the wedding dress after the wedding is another important problem.
