NEW YORK -- Anna Sui describes herself as an "outsider" in the fashion industry. But the celebrated New York designer's independent streak has helped her build a brand beloved by multiple generations of fans in an industry where trends fade in a matter of months.

In a sign of her enduring popularity, "The World of Anna Sui," an exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Design here, has averaged more than 2,200 visitors a week since its opening in mid-September.
