DESIGNER: MINAN WONG
Minan Wong is a New York City-based designer whose elegant designs, constructed using sustainable materials, exude a youthful exuberance and convey the strength within every woman. With 18 years in the industry, Minan Wong is an awarded designer, winner of the UNESCO and Felissimo International Award, and designs featured at the Louvre in Paris and covered by Women’s Wear Daily and The Daily News. After working for Donna Karan and Eileen Fisher, Minan decided to launch her own brand, Minan Wong.
“When I decided to make my own collection, I brought my personal journey into the details. When I design, I get a surge of energy. I love clothing that exudes a vibrant, youthful aura and can support the strength of a woman. The crisp touch of a brand-new dress. The exhilarating breath you take before meeting your dream client. The strut that begins when you catch a reflection of yourself in the window, rocking that jacket. Great design starts with sustainable materials. Whenever possible, items are made using eco-friendly elements like organic cotton, Tencel, recycled wool and recycled PET. All pieces are made in the US for fair wages and to support the local economy, because empowerment is not just for the people who can afford to buy our clothes!”
