The Fall season collection is called Edwardian Romance,
which has a new theme of Hollywood Glamour and a touch of Downton Abbey vintage style. Her
Edwardian signature style features empire silhouettes and long hobble skirts.
-“ The Downton Abbey look never looked
more seductively and elegantly refined in beige-black-champagne gowns with shimmering
lace-illusion yoke, embroidery and bouquets of floral beadwork”, said Sue Wong.

-“The Edwardian Era has always inspired my work”.”I loved the period costumes of Downton Abbey. I have an affinity
for this era and its iconography in a way that is effortlessly aligned with my
fascination with seductive stories, which are embedded in bead work that I include in my work”.
