Anna Sui will be awarded the Medal of Honor by the National Arts Club.
Sui is being recognized by the NAC’s president, board of governors, and the fashion committee for her outstanding achievements and career in fashion. The ceremony will be held at the NAC clubhouse at 15 Gramercy Park South in New York at 7:30 p.m.
Previous honorees for fashion have been Geoffrey Beene, Carolina Herrera, Betsey Johnson, Patricia Field, Iris Apfel, and Narciso Rodriguez. In other fields, winners have included Ang Lee, Benny Goodman, Lynn Redgrave, Toni Morrison, Tennessee Williams, Ed Ruscha, Louise Nevelson, Arthur Miller, John Irving, and Leonard Bernstein.
Speakers for the evening will include William Ivey Long, costume designer and past Medal of Honor recipient, and Barbara Gifford, assistant curator at The Museum of Arts and Design. In the spring of 2017, the first retrospective exhibition of her work, “The World of Anna Sui,” opened at the Fashion and Textile Museum in London, and traveled to Tokyo in the summer of 2018. It is currently on view in New York at The Museum of Arts and Design through Feb. 23. The exhibition displays her designs in rooms outfitted like her boutiques with Victorian furniture, purple walls, papier-mâché dollyheads, rock ‘n’ roll posters, and red floors.
