There’s Nothing Better Than Art
“The Freer Gallery lets its inner fashionista shine with this Anna Sui, “Peacock Room” inspired, t-shirt design. The T-shirt, by Sui with illustrations by Sara Schwartz, will be featured in Sui’s fall 2010 line and was seen on the runways on New York City’s Fashion Week.
Proceeds from the shirt will support the Smithsonian’s Freer and Sackler galleries to benefit and support the appreciation and study of Asian art and culture. The public will be able to purchase the shirt through the Freer and Sackler galleries’ shops and Web sites, Sui’s showrooms and Web site, and additional retail stores in September 2010.”

Anna Sui, and her appreciation for the color purple, has been a favorite of mine for some time. I suggest that you support the Smithsonian and Ms. Sui. Designer t-shirts are a way of life, darling (especially for those of us who can afford not much more).
