Hong Kong born designer Vien Lee studied fashion in Paris for three years, before returning here to start up her own collection of gowns, cocktail dresses and qipaos. With nary a meringue in sight, her sleek designs are ideal for a bride that wants to reuse her wedding gown as an evening dress. Gowns cost US$500-US$760. If you’re a wedding guest in need of an outfit, check out her cocktail dress collection, priced at around US$500 per frock. The qipao are of a modern design, not unlike modern Shanghai Tang-style cuts.
