Sohung Tong (or "Tom" as most people know him) graduated from Parsons and immediately started working as an assistant designer for a Madison Avenue Couture House. Five years later he started his own line of men's and women's apparel selling direct to customers at the Young Designers Market in NoLita, an incubator for emerging and independent talent. Over the years he has developed a loyal following with his eclectic, handmade, one-of-a-kind designs later selling at Edge NY Noho and other stores around the US. His work is carefully handcrafted and not mass produced.
Sohung Designs is joined by seven designers: Vernakular Photo Designs, amparo3, Retro GAL Fashions, Kyoko Honda, Maiden Lane Jewelry, Jady Su Accessories, and Vidhsel vs. Lliam. Jewelry, accessories, and men's and women's apparel will be available at the store. This combination of designers makes it the most exciting and diverse group of designers downtown.
