CAN YOU BELIEVE CARVEN ONG OPENED HIS FASHION SCHOOL AGED 23?
I cannot believe it either. He started Carven Ong Academy of Fashion in 1991 with 1 student. Then it became 3 after 1 month, then a heart warming 10.
Today there are around 60 at any one time and Carven Ong Academy of Fashion occupies 3 floors and 4,500 sq ft with 8 lecturers!
Unusually for a designer, Carven Ong started his career as a fashion lecturer and did not open his boutique until 2004, that's 13 years later!
Carven Ong Couture began in 2004 and from Day One, he specialised and triumphed in wedding gowns, red-carpet gowns and exclusive one-off creations beloved by KL's Hi-So (that's High Society, darling).
Carven Ong Couture is at Prince Hotel, Jalan Conlay and you can see his boutique as you drive in as it occupies a prime position.
Call 03-2162 8232 right this instant if you are getting married. If not, call him anyway since every girl needs a gown!
He chose to celebrate the 21st anniversary of Carven Ong Academy of Fashion in conjunction with 'Love Moments' bridal fair at Zebra Square, KL's hottest venue for weddings, parties, feasts and product launches.
10 graduating students and 7 guest designers showed their latest creations inside the Great Hall of Zebra Square to great acclaim.
A dress is worth a thousand words so drool on!
