Fashion history: Else Anita shoes at 2:15. The Else Anita brand owned by Jungle shoes was commissioned by many high end designers to make the iconic 6" stiletto platform. They invented the mold, but could not copyright the design, so the heels have been copied for decades. Today, we commonly see drag queens and strippers and the fashion counter culture don these but they were rare, fetishized items in the 80's sand 90's. Jungle Shoes were the originators!
@@ts121084 My friend, since i'm a former journalist myself let me explain you what this profession is about. When a journalist needs to make an episode about Anna Sui, they start from making a telephone call (or sending a message) to either Anna Sui or her press person. Then you would prepare your list of question for the interview with Anna. Then interviewing. Then editing. Journalist is someone who gets information FIRST-HAND, directly from the source. In fact, if you only work with information that already exists (either in internet or books), you're not even a journalist. You're a blogger or so-called "content-manager" of an internet site. Tim Blanks attended this show in person. He could ask her about her origins directly. If not, he could make a call into her office afterwards. It's completely normal and shows your desire to be accurate. If Tim couldn't ask her directly or forgot to do so, he could not include this piece of unchecked information at all. Mentioning Anna's ethnicity wasn't necessary here.
I love ANNA SUI!
Real models!

Do you have the full opening intro to fashion file? This piece of 90s is great
"Anna Sui is a designer with Japanese roots"? With Chinese, i guess.
Other than that, nice video. Thanks for sharing with us.
It was more difficult to fact-check back then, for obvious reasons...
