The dramatic jewelry
of Vilaiwan designed by Joe Polthakorn and handbags by Mary
Frances, completed the SUE WONG vision.
Every SUE WONG gown is a statement of the
dance between Alchemy and Masquerade, a symphony of dark drama and
transcending light – as Sue insightfully shares: “The real power and
alchemy comes from within one’s true self. Does it wear you, or do you
wear it?” This holds true to her Spring 2016 Collection itself – the
personification of Fashion, celebrating every woman - from exhilarating
cutting edge to classic romantic elegance.www.SueWong.com
