ZANG TOI: FASHION ROYALTY IN THE WORLD OF HAUTE COUTURE
Zang Toi is a renowned Fashion Designer who was born and raised in a small village, Kuala Krai in Kelantan, Malaysia. He was the youngest of seven children of a local grocer. Zang landed in New York at the age of 20 where he studied at the distinguished Parsons School of Design. In August 1989, he opened his atelier and soon after, U.S Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour featured Zang in March 1990 issue and was one of the first Asian designers championed by the renowned editor.
In 1990, Zang was awarded the Mouton Cadet Young Designer of the Year, which recognises top, young, US designer-of-the-year. In a Newsday article published in 1991, Frank De Caro enthusiastically noted the designer’s success, “If anyone is The Next Big Thing, it’s him.” (Newsday, New York, 29 April 1991). His work has since been featured in major publications such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, Time, Newsweek, The New York Times and Financial Times. Not only has he dressed Hollywood celebrities such as Sharon Stone, Elizabeth Taylor, Farrah Fawcett, Kirstie Alley, Patti LaBelle, Gong Li, Eva Longoria, Fergie and Heather Graham, but has also created luxurious wardrobe for philanthropists and royalty including Melinda Gates and Saudi Princess Haifa Bandar Al-Saud.
Zang's continued success was most recently recognised by Vivid Magazine where he was named one of the Top 8 most influential Chinese Americans (June-July 2011 issue). Today, the world continues to recognise his passion for timeless beauty as he builds on a strong tradition of elegance.
