The following biography contains information on Fashion Designer Zang Toi.

BIOGRAPHY
Fashion Designer Zang Toi was the patriarch of modern fashion before it was present. The 38 year-old designer is a color ardentist; a designer whose command of vivid hues is natural and easy, sophisticated and sensual. He has helped to usher in the forward era of contemporary late 90’s design with his trademark colors and his timeless styling. His creations pamper today’s woman with an uncompromising, style, glamour and romance.

Toi left his native Malaysia at the age of eighteen, and via Toronto, landed in New York a year later. There he attended Parsons School of Design and apprenticed with Mary Jane Marcasiano and Ronaldus Shamask. In 1989, with a modest collection of bright sarongs, strong suits and regal dresses, he opened his own atelier. Instantly, the personable, affable and remarkable Toi made a name for himself among fashion’s elite.

In 1991 Toi won the Mouton-Cadet Young Designers Award, beating out names such as Pamela Dennis, Gemma Khang and Christian Francis Roth. His most recent award of distinction was presented by Mark Green, the Public Advocate for New York City, for Toi’s artistic contributions and achievements. In March of 1997, presented by the Sultan of Malaysia, Zang received his Knighthood. In the years since, Toi has cultivated his business into an international success story. He is a favorite of style arbiters including Sharon Stone, Ivana Trump, Hazelle Goodman, Kelly Preston, Kirstie Alley, Jennifer Tilly and Meg Ryan. Be it the House of Toi signature collection or the “Z” collection, his moderately priced bridge line, Toi’s creations are original, feminine and simply exquisite.

Zang Toi is available in globally fine stores including the Couture Department at Nordstrom, fine specialty boutiques and Zang Toi Boutiques in Malaysia.
