  ABOUT EDITH (Cheung Sai May)

Edith juggles her time between commercial projects and self-initiated projects. She takes interest in all cloth-related matters, ancient and modern, east or west. A fashion designer by profession, she combines her knowledge of the industry with her own discovered interests to provide unique designs and solutions for clients.

She currently runs CLOTH HAVEN, a gallery/shop space in Hong Kong that showcases textiles and crafts. This space enables her to play curator, introduce textiles to the public in her own way and interact with more like¡Vminded people.

At the start of her career, Edith worked abroad in New York and Europe. She returned to Hong Kong in the late 1980s and started working in the film industry as a costume designer. In 1990 Edith set up the COSTUME SQUAD, serving the entertainment industry for a decade.

Her consultation projects include designing for women and menswear fashion labels, home furnishings, uniforms, fur garments, styling and publishing and translation. She also teaches part-time, on fashion and costume design.

Edith is the Past President of the Textile Society of Hong Kong, Vice President of Hong Kong Film Arts Association, and volunteer consultant for SAORI Weaving project at the Salvation Army Rehabilitation Programme.

When she finds time, she likes to travel to see and feel more of the world.
