CHEERLEADING FOR CHENG
Ana R
“Years ago, while I was living in the US, I saw this exquisite dress Michelle Yeoh wore on a red carpet, designed by a guy from Hong Kong called Barney Cheng. I would have never guessed in a million years that one day I’d meet him and he’d be one of my dearest friends.”

“Barney Cheng is synonymous with the finest artistry. Each dress is meticulously made to complement the wearer’s shape and contours. It’s like wearing a masterpiece that all people covet. I’ve worn his outfits at banquets. His designs are acclaimed, and his craftsmanship is sophisticated and infused with Chinese elements. Barney Cheng is a designer we – and I speak for many in Hong Kong, I’m sure – are proud of.”
Bonnae Gokson
“I attended a wedding at Palais Garnier wearing Barney’s couture gown. Many people came up and complimented me on my outfit. With experience, he’s excelled fabulously to reach where he is – bravo to him!”
Celina Jade
“Barney has a really authentic and unique style. His dresses have an Asian touch and an international appeal. As a Eurasian, I want to wear something that shows both my cultures, which Barney does so beautifully. He’s an artist more than anything, as well as being the sweetest person. Barney to me is not a local designer – he’s an international designer who just happens to be in Hong Kong.”
Laetitia Yu
“Barney has a God-given talent that’s truly remarkable. It amazes me how his designs continue to top themselves over and over again. He’s at his best when given the creative freedom to display his artistry, which is beyond anything I can imagine. He’s meticulous and detail-oriented, always refining and giving his clients more than they dreamed of until the very last minute. I never get as many compliments as I do when I wear Barney’s designs, and it’s very special to have someone who knows me so well and constantly creates something beautiful for me.”
Rosemary Vandenbroucke
“A memorable moment [pictured, left] walking the red carpet wearing his design, for my best actress nomination for The Kitchen Musical series at the 52nd Festival de Télévision de Monte-Carlo awards. Everyone knows he’s a wonderful designer, but he’s also one of the loveliest and kindest people I’ve ever met in my life.”
