Mar 9, 2002/ FWD/ --- "I envisioned a girl who did her hair before going out, and partied all night long, and this is what it looks like afterwards," hairstylist Garren explained backstage at Anna Sui show.

"It's a little rocky -- some girls will be shaggy, others will have their hair tucked behind the ear," he added, while giving Carolyn Murphy a little trim.

While Erin Wasson - who hadn't been to a hairdresser for a year - sat in Garren's chair to get it razored into shape, makeup artist Pat McGrath was plucking guest star Naomi Campbell's eyebrows and applying colorful eyeshadow.

A metallic orange on the top lid and green on the lower was used on one eye, while the other got a purple/blue combination.

The same orange as on the eyes was also used on the cheeks, pulling the wild look together. Cherry gloss and mascara on both, the top and lower lashes provided the finishing touches.

As it turned out, the hair and makeup were the only punk/rock aspect of the collection, as Anna Sui churned out one lovey-dovey flower-power outfit after the other.

From old school supes like Naomi Campbell and Carolyn Murphy to new faves Delfine Bafort and Maria Carla Boscone, the models came strolling out in multi-patterned blouses with trumpet sleeves, handkerchief tops layered over flowing skirts, and crochet knits either worn over bare skin or over a sheer blouse.

Flower embroidery, paisley patterns and glittering appliqués along with snakeskin boots, big earrings and even bigger necklaces accessorized the collection, which generally stuck to dark hues like rich purple and black.

Sui also showed some sharper looks, like a gauze lace-trimmed top with black wool windowpane jeans or a black pebble crepe ensemble with a long narrow cut jacket, matching shirt and skirt, which had an almost western feel to it.

Mongolian lamb trim coats with floral embroidery were vintage Sui, and a black and cream patchwork print shirt with a zigzag hem leather skirt combination anchored with snakeskin boots hit the right balance between romantic and edgy.

But after the recent seasons in which the flouncing gypsy, peasant and prairie styles have been played out, there was no refreshing element in Sui's collection.

While certainly pretty and well cut, the clothes were too literal and lacked Sui's usual sense of humor.
