the clothes at the beginning. I would rather fi nd a good
canvas before using my paint,” she explains.
She was the costume designer for director Jiang Wen’s
2018 fi lm Hidden Man, and one of the stars, Zhou Yun,
dazzled the audience at the premiere in her haute
couture gown. Fans of Kay Tse will see the Cantopop
diva wear 15 of Wang’s creations when she performs at
the Hong Kong Coliseum in October.
Wang enjoys the intimacy of creating haute couture
for a client. “For ready-to-wear, I don’t know who buys
the clothes, but when you make it for a specifi c woman
or image, I understand them better. Your brain will be
emotionally connected when designing for a real person.”
“I don’t want to stick to the look
of the clothes at the beginning.
I would rather fi nd a good
canvas before using my paint”
