For its first designer collaboration, Old Navy has partnered with downtown favorite Anna Sui. Together, they’ve created a 24-piece capsule collection available in sizes XS to 4X, with prices ranging from $24.99 to $119.99. Zac Posen, Executive Vice President and Creative Director of Gap Inc., who led the project, shared, “I’ve always believed that fashion and style should be accessible to everyone.”

This vision was coming to life on a clear day in Brooklyn, where I met with Posen and Sui amid simultaneous photo shoots. In one studio, models were being photographed in the collection, while in another, PinkPantheress (real name Victoria Beverley Walker), the collaboration’s ambassador, was fully styled. With her long, curly hair and a floral ruffled top and midi skirt, the musician embodied a bohemian look so perfectly she could have stepped out of a Diana Vreeland-era Vogue spread or straight from Sui’s inspiration board.

The collection features items like:
– Denim Chore Jacket, $89.99; Denim Seamed Mini Skirt, $39.99; Ringer Tee, $24.99; Tote Bag, $29.99
– Lace Applique Top, $49.99; Sleeveless Faux Suede Mini Dress, $69.99; Faux-Suede Coat, $119.99

Anna Sui, renowned for her fashion expertise and passion for music, is currently in the spotlight with her new book, “Anna Sui x The Nineties,” and her brand approaching its 45th anniversary. Posen explained his choice to collaborate with her, saying he sought an iconic American designer whose story would connect with a broad audience, making it both a strategic and heartfelt decision. As a New Yorker, Posen recalled visiting Sui’s stylish Greene Street boutique in SoHo, which opened in 1992—two years before Old Navy launched.

That boutique’s signature purple and black color scheme influenced the palette of the Old Navy x Anna Sui line. During development, both designers drew inspiration from ’90s fashion, including a remake of a dress from Sui’s grunge collection. Posen expects the collection to appeal to various customers, from avid collectors seeking vintage styles to families, as Old Navy caters to all sizes and ages. It includes updated basics like printed tees, sweatshirts, and denim in dark and patterned light washes with laser details.

The collection offers versatile styling options, from boho to grunge, with a lingerie-inspired touch through lace-edged slips that feel sturdy. A standout piece is a faux suede coat with a faux fur collar and cuffs, which Sui notes is a favorite in her office. Posen enthusiastically described the range: “Whether you’re after the perfect bohemian dress, a bold suede piece that commands attention, or a flawless lacy top, we’ve partnered to deliver it.”

Attention to detail is evident throughout, with elements like velvet ribbons and intricate threading adding to the designs.The collection features rugged trims and jackets with custom buttons, while even the hang tags are shaped like Sui’s signature butterfly. It’s clear this line will bring smiles as it quickly sells out. “Old Navy is a brand built on joy,” Posen said. “Anna has been a visionary in the American fashion scene who brings that joy to life.”
