Francesca Lee is a Hong Kong-based entrepreneur and marketing consultant with a deep passion for tailoring. Her family’s background in the uniform business inspired her to launch Per Suit, the first mobile tailoring brand in Hong Kong ten years ago. Francesca’s belief in “classic style, modern cut” and her innovative approach to mobile tailoring have earned her a loyal following of over a thousand clients, including professionals from all around the world and high-profile figures like the former chief executive of Macau, Mr. Fernando Chui, and celebrities such as Justin Lo and Tian You. She looks forward to sharing her experiences and insights while contributing to the vibrant fashion community.

Founder of Per Suit
Founded by Julie Liu in 2017, Qipology is a Hong Kong based modern qipao fashion brand, that applies a fresh approach to revitalize traditional Chinese qipao/cheongsam, a figure-hugging dress that characterizes women’s femininity, beauty, and grace. Whilst still preserving the exquisite craftsmanship required to make a traditional qipao, Qipology designs with a creative vision to reinvent beautiful qipaos that are modern, elegant, and stylish.

After obtaining her Bachelor’s degree in Sociology in the U.S., Noel returned to Hong Kong to pursue her studies in law. However, instead of becoming a lawyer, she decided to take part in her family’s wedding dress business. With her 10 years of hard work and dedication, Noel has become one of most renowned dress designers in Hong Kong and is well known to overseas clients.
Noel’s fresh approach to tailor-made couture for brides has been cultivated with years of exclusive custom-designing of bridal and evening wear. Noel bases her design of true individuality on her strong fashion sense, and hence creates quintessential dream bridal gowns.
