CNA938 Rewind - From Milan to Singapore: Vivienne Ong-Lin’s Vision for Heritage and High Fashion
In ‘Made in SG’, Melanie Oliveiro speaks with Vivienne Ong-Lin, founder of Fuchsia Lane – a Singapore-based fashion atelier that reimagines Nanyang heritage through bespoke couture and ready to wear. Ong-Lin will talk about the steps that led her to founding her very own brand in 2007. She’ll also talk about basing herself in the world’s fashion capital Milan, to train in fashion and retail at Politecnico di Milano. She’ll recall what it was like being mentored by local couture maestro Thomas Wee under a fashion incubator programme. Ong-Lin will then list her bestselling Fuchsia Lane pieces – from qipaos to bomber jackets.
