Brooklyn Talks: Anna Sui | Solid Gold at the Brooklyn Museum

Reflect on our special exhibition Solid Gold in a conversation between featured designer Anna Sui and curator Matthew Yokobosky. Sui—whose celebrated brand spans ready-to-wear, accessories, cosmetics, and fragrances—explores gold’s many symbolic meanings and its role in her work as both a color and a material. Additionally, she shares her journey of building an independent, female-run brand, including her commitment to center her business in New York City’s Garment District for the past 40 years.

Organized on the occasion of the Museum’s 200th anniversary, Solid Gold showcases more than 500 works, with a section devoted to the fashion world’s enthusiastic embrace of gold.
