many years Sue Wong has been a recognized and well-respected Fashion Designer in
America with a global reach and international distribution in twenty-seven countries.
Recently, during LA Fashion Week, she was honored with a spectacular Retrospective
Fashion Show and received a coveted Lifetime Achievement Award.
As Vice-President of Design for the Arpeja in the 1970s, Ms. Wong became an
immediate stellar success, catapulting the company's sales from a mere $2million in
annual revenues to over $52million within a three year time period - a stunning and
unprecedented success in the fashion industry for the times.
The SUE WONG Designer label began in 1985. Over the next 34 years, Ms. Wong
successfully operated her $40 million in revenue per annum company via hands-on in a
creative, financial and marketing basis with international offices and showrooms
located in Los Angeles, New York, Hong Kong and China.
The center of the SUE WONG manufacturing production was shifted to the southern
cities of China in the late 1990s to pave the way for her stellar success in the new
Millennium. Sue Wong was the first American designer credited with bringing Haute
Couture looks to the masses at affordable prices, therefore launching and solidifying
her reputation as the Everywoman’s Couturier.
SUE WONG the designer label ruled the American Evening Market for the next
decade, selling to the highest level stores in America, such as Neiman Marcus, Saks
Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom and Bloomingdales, in addition to 27 countries globally,
becoming the number one source for the Evening category, proving that the SUE
WONG signature is beloved internationally, and appreciated by women all over the
world. The intricate detailing such as hand beading and embellishments gave her
designs a definite identifiable signature that separated her beautiful designs from the
other offerings in the marketplace. Her business skyrocketed to meteoric heights
because of the affordable pricing and high quality workmanship of her beautiful unique
designs that were manufactured and crafted in China.
With each new collection, Sue Wong never fails to astonish, employing the revered
age-old couture techniques implemented by the finest Couture houses in Europe, and
evoking the allure and glamour of various eras such as Weimar Berlin, 1930s
Shanghai, Precode Hollywood and Manhattan’s gilded Jazz Age. While often adopting
vintage style, every design belongs in the now and is decidedly very Sue Wong;
exquisite fabrics shimmering with incandescent beads, unique embroideries and
layered textures embellished with passementerie and soutache combine to create
works of art that are graceful, elegant, unique and timelessly beautiful.
