CNA938 Rewind - CYC – celebrating 90 years of heritage brand excellence

In ‘Made in SG’, Melanie Oliveiro finds out about the history and staying power of heritage brand CYC, a clothing firm best known for its custom-made shirts and corporate wear. Mrs. Fong Loo Fern, Managing Director of CYC, will talk about how its story began in 1935 when it was founded by Shanghainese tailors Chiang Yick Ching, and his wife Mdm Foo Ah Neok. Celebrating CYC’s 90th birthday during SG60, Fong will also discuss how Singapore’s fashion and tailoring trends have evolved through the decades, and how CYC pioneered a combination of Western technology with Eastern craftsmanship in their designs.
