‘Modern Art’ by Sue Wong at Mercedes-Benz LA Fashion Week Spring 2008
Her creations are individually hand-beaded, embroidered and finished by true artisans. Born in 1949, the Asian designer was never formally trained in fashion. She moved to the US with her family in 1955 escaping communist China. At 19 she opened her own boutique selling handcrafted gowns made from vintage clothing of Shanghai.
