SIGNATURES: “Chinese tradition meets Western influence and modernity.”
TRADEMARK PIECE: “The cheongsam dress is a recurring piece in my collections. I think it embodies everything that is sexy and feminine about the Chinese culture and tradition, yet it remains very adaptable to Western society and easy to embellish with a modern twist each season.”
IDEAL CLIENT: “Confident, feminine, cultured and elegant... Maggie Chung!”
THE COLLECTION: “I have drawn inspiration from culture and the way it influences how people dress in the West and the East.”
CULTURAL INFLUENCES: “Contemporary art is an important element for me. It reflects what I experience at the time. It represents what is modern.”
PLANS FOR 2013: “Move forward.”
