About The Designer…
Alfred Sung immigrated from China in 1972; he moved from Shanghai to Toronto after being educated at the highly respected Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne in France.
Defying his parents, who would have preferred him to take up a more stable, traditional vocation, Sung embraced his love of the fine arts and began to study fashion- he is also a graduate of the notable New York City-based Parsons School of Design.
After finishing his education and a short apprenticeship for a Seventh Avenue designer, he became an integral part of the Canadian fashion scene; his career in Canadian fashion started when he designed sportswear for a national manufacturer based in Toronto.
His talent was quickly recognized by his superiors, and also by a range of private, freelance clients – in time, it was obvious that young Alfred Sung was destined to create his own line under his own name.
Eventually, Sung found the capital he needed to open a small boutique, Moon, in Toronto’s fashionable, thriving Yorkville area.
His reputation grew as he started designing his own collection; Alfred Sung’s Canadian empire is based on the success of his signature clean, feminine career suiting and casual sportswear, elegant perfumes and body lotions, and evening dresses, bridesmaids dresses, and Alfred Sung wedding gowns…
Sung’s Luxe, Sophisticated Style Always Flatters The Female Form…
Alfred Sung’s signature silhouette hugs the torso, highlighting pleated, tucked, and draped bodices that are expertly embellished for high drama. His skirts are usually full, and help to create a pleasing hourglass effect that is universally flattering.
Elegant beading adds a couture feel to a Sung white wedding dress. Since the dresses are so refined, they need very little extra adornment. In general, a veil or headpiece may not even be needed, since the gown themselves are so striking and fashionable.
However, it is easy to adapt these exquisite bridal dresses to a range of traditional bridal looks that also feature long veils, headpieces, and other popular wedding accessories.
Sung’s unique style sensibility gives his wedding dresses a runway-ready look that is both stylish and unforgettable. Blessed with an ability to design gowns bestowed with fresh, current design elements and traditional shapes, Sung offers the ideal blend of old and new to today’s beautiful Canadian brides…
