Bio
Jasmine Wong, a Hong Kong native, infuses her designs with a deep respect for traditional Hong Kong tailoring & textiles, authentically reinterpreting them for the contemporary era. Wong's creations transcend mere aesthetics; they are a vibrant celebration of femininity & empowerment. Influenced by the artistry & seduction of burlesque, her pieces feature intricate corsetry, elaborate embellishment & bold silhouettes, meticulously designed to evoke an air of elegant empowerment & sensuality.
Under her label, Dear Gigi, Wong honors the memory of her late mother, Gigi, a former seamstress & model whose vivacious spirit permeates the essence of the brand's designs. Gigi's indomitable persona serves as the guiding inspiration behind every creation, infusing each piece with a palpable sense of defiant confidence & tenacity.
Dear Gigi's designs have garnered international acclaim, adorning the figures of esteemed musicians including Tokischa Popola & Sudan Archives. Additionally, the label has captured the attention of fashion luminaries such as Jean Paul Gaultier, who featured Dear Gigi with reverence on Instagram.
