FOUNDER

Born and raised in Hong Kong and having studied in the United States for 15 years, SPARKLE brand founder and cheongsam designer Karen Chan is fully familiar with both Chinese and Western cultures, and loves incorporating East-meets-West elements into her designs, with special emphasis on the inheritance of cultural and creative industries, especially modernizing traditional craftsmanship.

Inspired by the classic Hong Kong movie "In the Mood for Love", Karen’s Modern Cheongsam Collection uses SPARKLE patented digital printing technology to create original silk fabric designs, then handcrafted into a series of exquisite and subtle-glamourous Chinese chic modern cheongsams.

To fully appreciate and learn the fine craftsmanship of the Chinese cheongsam, Karen took the professional course of “Traditional QiPao Tailor-Making” at HKDI taught by Intangible Cultural Inheritor Master Fung Yau Choi.
