Chase Sui Wonders knew she had a shot at making it big in the creative industry because someone close to her had managed to reach the pinnacle of success. Sui Wonders’ aunt just so happens to be Anna Sui, an acclaimed fashion designer whose works were seen on the likes of Madonna, Naomi Campbell, Paris Hilton, and Bella Hadid. “I think it was so huge for me to see a person in my family do something so creative and be so great at it,” Sui Wonders told Teen Vogue of her aunt. “It’s been so inspiring to see her pave her career path. She’s been such a role model.”

In her W Magazine interview, Sui Wonders also shared the perks of having a world-famous designer as an aunt. She said that she and her cousins would get first dibs on Anna Sui creations and Sui would customize the pieces for them. “When we were three, four, and five, my aunt would let my sister and my cousins and I pick our favorite looks from her shows, and then she would shrink them down,” the actor recalled. “Like these giant fur coats for toddlers. We would then put on our fashion shows because we had so much of her clothing.” They even got to sit front row at her shows, too. “When we were little, we would sit front row, but on the ground,” she added. “In some videos, you can see us on the runway crawling around and fighting.”
