A leading light in the local fashion industry for decades, Tan Yoong was known for his ethereal gowns, impeccable craftsmanship and award-winning  designs. A former Art Director who turned to fashion, he created his own advertising campaigns which were truly works of art. He contributed his styling skills to Her World and Her World Brides magazines as well.

Tan Yoong was an inspiring fashion force who influenced many with his visionary creativity. Here, we showcase 30 of his utterly romantic gowns that are still as beautiful now as they were back in the 1980s and 1990s.
