Yet another talent from Singapore!
Now based in Milan, Ng hails from Singapore, studied languages in France and design marketing in the USA, and worked with Italy’s Staff International and AEFFE to build the DSquared2 and John Bartlett brands in America, respectively.
He is also an experienced painter and home furnishings designer.
Ng quietly founded his own label in 2004, tracking down high-quality factories in Italy and convincing them to support him in his new mens and womenswear venture. The first was a knitwear factory in Italy’s Veneto district. They worked with Rivy in developing and researching new production techniques, and the Rivy Ng knitwear collection was born as a testimonial to good old-fashioned Made in Italy quality.
Rivy’s long, laid-back knits were quickly picked up by influential womenswear retailers like Linda Dresner in New York, Ikram in Chicago and Podium in Moscow.
From there, he set out to tackle other product categories, one by one. Last season, he added belts, some of which are hand-cut to Rivy’s exacting specifications, and for A/W ’08, coats and trousers will appear as well.
This are some of his creations!
Check this guy out! Rivy Ng – hidden gem =))
I want the outfit of the first picture! (But the vest alone is gonna cost me US$565 – I could go get myself another Gucci bag with that….I totally wouldn’t mind wearing his labels for an entire year! That’s how much I love it! But as you know the cost is….prohibitive lol.)
As long as he keeps designing more unique products – i’m pretty much contented just fantasizing ’bout them~~
