Celebrity designer Viola Chan’s festive fashion tips: sparkles, feathers, metallic fabric – and a cape

Hong Kong-born fashion designer Viola Chan worked overseas for 25 years, growing the Viola Chan brand in markets such as the US, the UK, Australia and South Africa, to name a few. With four labels under the House of VC brand – Viola Chan Premium, Viola Chan, VC by Viola Chan and Oleg Cassini, the designer has crafted beautiful gowns to suit a variety of silhouettes, styles and price ranges.

Lately I’ve been … focusing on The House of VC, preparing for the 2020 fashion show. We successfully opened a 2,000-square-foot showroom in Hong Kong in June, and we are also launching an online store. The other thing I’ve been focusing on is the 2020 fashion show, which will be held in Turkey.
