Sue Wong
About
Sue Wong was born in rural Southern China in 1949. Sue Wong’s family escaped to Hong Kong and finally immigrated to Los Angeles, when Sue was at the age of six.
As a youngster in California, she wanted to pursue a career in fine arts. Although she was won a scholarship to the prestigious California Institute of the Arts after high school, her parents wanted her to become an accountant, or a teacher.
Hence, Sue Wong was never formally trained in fashion. But her design talent won out in the end.
The Look
The ideas of her design come directly from the history of fashion, including inspirations from the 1890s, and every decade from the 1920s through the 1970s. She realizes that the key to healthy marketing is diversity, but inspite of this, her clothing is consistently romantic, blending time-honored handwork and craftsmanship with classic, rather than trendy designs.
