// Khoon Hooi dresses //

GONG XI FAI CAI! I’m so excited to be wearing a gorgeous QiPao by Khoon Hooi alongside the amazing women in my life: my sister Dylana, and my mother. We really are a fun trio. A QiPao is a traditional Chinese dress, also known as the mandarin gown or cheongsam. This gorgeous gold and red set that I am wearing was also featured in The New York Times! Talk about an iconic moment this Lunar New Year out at a party in the Lower East Side! I wear my QiPao proudly this time of year. My mother is Chinese, who was born in Singapore and raised in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I feel so blessed to have grown up with this culture. We have a wonderful love for food and family. This designer is also from Malaysia and you may recognize that I’ve worn his pieces on many red carpets. I have quite the collection of dresses in my closet at the moment, each holding a unique story and memory. Always so much glamour. What I love about a qipao is the beautiful slim fit and elegant collar. It’s the lucky Year of the Rabbit. Wishing you a prosperous, happy, and healthy new year!
