Kang’s Boutique

Since the early 1990s, Kang’s boutique has been a carefully guarded secret amongst small communities of well-dressed and astute Singaporean women. Lawyers, doctors, taitais and eager young brides in the know have been trooping to designer Gary Lau’s modest tailor shop (first in Golden Landmark, Concourse and now in the Crawford Lane) to be fitted it in one-off, exclusive creations. Although best remembered for his precisely tailored and exquisitely crafted cheongsams, Gary’s range is prolific—from evening gowns, bridal wear, daily work wear to even quirky and glamorous maternity outfits.
