Be it a glamorous Hollywood movie star or the ordinary girl hoping to turn heads at her next ball, Vivian Luk’s philosophy to dressing women remains the same.

"My designs are for women who appreciate works of art. They are dreamy, yet modern and bold,”

"My designs are for women who appreciate works of art. They are dreamy, yet modern and bold,” says Vivian. “The sculptural forms, lush draping and intricate details of my gowns create movement, with a subtle sensuality.”

Vivian's art education started young with her father—an interior designer and fine artist—as her mentor. At 13, Vivian began her classical training in art, dance, music and drama at a performance arts school. Her experience instilled in her a love of artistic forms, movement and theatricality that can be traced in her designs today.

There’s something exciting about not knowing exactly how your decisions will turn out.

the joy is in the process because you escape into a world of the unknown.

Vivian’s art education began young, guided by her father - an interior designer and fine artist. At 13, she trained in art, dance, music, and drama at a performance arts school in Toronto, Canada.

After graduating from Parsons School of Design and the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, she began her career with Vera Wang, specializing in Bridal and Celebrity Made-to-Order, creating iconic red-carpet gowns.

In 2008, Vivian returned to Hong Kong to establish her label. Known for captivating presentations, she hosted private sessions of 100–130 guests to create memorable experiences.

Her collections have carried both artistry and storytelling. In 2010, Pan debuted at Cipriani Hong Kong, followed by Coral Gardens in 2013 at the Shangri-La rooftop. In 2016, after her pregnancy and cancer experience, she staged a charity fashion show, where couture little girl dresses walked alongside women’s couture. The signature Kaylen dress, named after her daughter, raised HKD 300,000 for a children’s cancer fund.

With growing demand for children’s couture, she launched Little Miss Luk in 2019, evolving into mother–daughter matching outfits. In 2024, she showcased her first women’s Ready-To-Wear pieces at a trunk show at St. Regis Hotel. During the pandemic, she paused bespoke bridal projects to explore creative crossovers - teaching fashion design courses with Arch Education for children and authoring Honeycomb & Her Superpower Friends, a storybook inspired by Little Miss Luk dresses, with characters embodying values like Creativity, Courage, and Kindness.

Vivian has continued to expand her community-focused experiences, collaborating with photographers such as Jada Poon, Kindred Studio, and Kim Lo to create styled shoots with mother–daughter outfits and themed sets. In 2025, she launched a maternity rental collection, extending her vision of fashion as both personal and shared experience.

Her next project focuses on women’s day-to-evening wear, unveiled at VIRTUOSE : The Artistry of Couture show. This new chapter circles back to what she loves most about couture - mix-and-match Ready-To-Wear separates that open a fresh direction in her special-occasion designs.

Her signature style has been adorned by HK celebrities Vivian Chow and Amanda S, as well as socialites Cathy lee, Jennifer Cheng, Guo Jing Jing, Arissa Cheo and Emily Lam.

Vivian’s work have been featured on CNN-GO, Hong Kong Tatler, Prestige, China Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, L'Officiel Singapore, Elle, Real Wedding Australia, South China Morning Post, Style Me Pretty, TVB, the Louis Vuitton 2012 Hong Kong Macau City Guide, and many more.

The women I design for are passionate.

She understands what it takes to be perfect but she prefers to be memorable. 
There’s a soft side to her, but don’t mistake her softness with passiveness. 
She takes the road less travelled and she shows strength.”
