Anna Fong

Thursday Nov 1, 2007 – By Clutch

You’ll have no problems keeping things hot this winter sporting a sassy number by Anna Fong. Her designs showcase the wonder of a woman’s curves while still leaving something to the imagination, allowing us to show of our best assets: brains and beauty.

Q: How long have you been designing?
Five years.

Q: What made you decide to start the collection?
I finally came to the realization that there was never going to be “the perfect time to launch the collection.” This year was a very special year for me because I decided to believe in myself 150 percent. That what I have, is a talent so I should respect it and share it with the world.

Q: When did Anna Fong launch?
It will officially launch in Spring of 2008.

Q: What’s your inspiration for your current collection?
I did create a small collection for Fall ‘07, and that was inspired by the “chicness” of Black and Gold. I’ve been inspired by gold lately and the different tones of gold. In this collection you see contrast gold metallic stitching, gold leather belts and trims as accents in a garment. The line accentuates a woman’s silhouette, chic style, femininity, beauty and glamour.

Q: What makes Anna Fong different from its competitors?
Price, quality, comfort, fit, versatility and a presence with each piece.

Q: What’s included in your collection and price points?
Included in the line are separates, dresses for day and evening wear. I like to have pieces in my line that are versatile in a woman’s wardrobe and lifestyle. She can go from work to an evening event with the same outfit by just moderately changing the look. It can be as easy as changing the shoes and or jewelry.

Q: What are your price points:

Dresses: $125 – $350

Evening Dresses: $200 – $800

Tops: $80 – $175

Bottoms: $75 – $300

Jackets- $150-1,000

Q: Do you have a celebrity following?
I plan on extending myself to more celebrities in the very near future ,but I do have some very stylish woman wearing Anna Fong…

Nadine Velazquez – Actress on My Name is Earl

Dyanara Torres – Actress/Model former “Miss Universe”

Vanessa Fraction – Comedian

Cristina Brondo – Actress

Q: What can we expect from your upcoming collection?
Spring ‘08 is inspired by the ballerina. The femininity and strength in a ballerina was really influential in the collection. You can expect flirty sundresses with a vintage feel. Cocktail dresses that will bring out the glamour in any woman and speak of confidence and chic style. Separates that will be versatile in any woman’s wardrobe yet enhance her style with any new addition.

Q: What’s in the future of Anna Fong?
As a designer I’ve been constantly evolving and refining my signature style, so I feel I’m getting closer to that as each collection is designed.

Q: Where can readers purchase Anna Fong?

    There is potential. The collection would be much better if it were made for more of the shapes and sizes of women. As it is not, I am not impressed, this collection would not be flattering on very many body types. Learn to appreciate all shapes and sizes and you will indeed have a wonderful collection.

  7. shala shala says:

    I don’t wear dresses but her garments make women look really good.

    I don’t know about other women, but as far as I’m concerned, it would look good on me:) (in reference to the above comment)

  11. Plumeria Plumeria says:

    Anna Fong’s collection is definitely tailored to each woman. Her focus on size,shape and texture is clear. Anna’s designs accentuate each woman’s most favored assests, while forgiving those less than desirable curves. Her choice of fabrics move with the body. It’s wearable,it’s fashionable and I’m quite pleased with the clothing line.

  12. Wanda Wanda says:

    Your such an inspiration!
    God Bless You and all your work!

    Anna’s collection is FABULOUS!!!!I recently had a few pieces made by her and she really knows what we as women want!!!!

Can’t wait for your Spring collection!!!

    This designer is up and coming! Relatively new to the market but her unique style combining glamour and comfortability will explode onto Hollywood stars in a short period of time! Own a piece of stardom before the demand and prices start to go up. =)
