with Vivian Luk:

• Tell us about your inspirations.
  [This collection] is inspired by underwater life. I love everything fantasy. And also, weddings are always romantic. Originally, I wanted it to be about mermaids but then decided it might be too cheesy. The leaves and lines in corals, their texture and colours are easier for people to imagine.

• Who is a Vivian Luk woman?
  She has to be comfortable with what she wears and needs to be passionate about things. She needs to be able to reach out and dream, but is not afraid to fall in love and show her vulnerability.

• Do you enjoy working with a client or on your own collection?
  I need a bit of both because I don’t think I can ever do things in a routine. I don’t like being pigeonholed. If I only stuck with my own ideas, I might be too distant from my clientele. When I work with my clients, I become inspired. Many of my guests told me that they could see their dresses somewhere in the runway collection.

• Have your designs changed now that you are married?
  I think now my designs are more romantic. Now it’s more about how I can make a woman glow. I have to really show it in the dresses.

• What’s next for you?
  The next collection will be more experimental. It probably won’t be as radical as casual wear, but it will be something cocktail. I feel I have said enough about bridal and evening gowns with the collection I have now, so I can move on to something simpler, something less of a corset and away from the body.

Her dresses are definitely making me want to renew my vows, but I’d probably need to go on a strict diet to fit into the gowns.
