Grace Wong, 31
Creative Director, Awesome Costumes
After two years of pioneering a UK fashion label under the employment of METRO Singapore, Grace decided to take a big leap of faith. With only $500 in her savings, she left the company and founded Awesome Costumes, where she designs and produces creative costumes. The initial stages were tough, but Grace persevered. Slowly but surely, she gained more opportunities to showcase her work.
Grace’s fun, imaginative and bold personality propelled her to create many outstanding costumes. She designed and produced dancers’ costumes for international celebrities’ concerts in 2004 and 2007, as well as costumes for local theatre productions. She was involved in Chingay 2008 and 2012, President’s Star Charity in 2011 and the inaugural 2010 Youth Olympic Games in Singapore.
Grace also believes in giving back to society. She was one of the sponsors for the Cosmo Youth Parade held in June, as part of the SHINE Youth Festival. She is currently working on sponsoring costumes for Singapore Management University’s School of Law musical in aid of the needy.
Grace wants to put Singapore on the world map with her craft. With Singapore as the Hub for the arts and entertainment, she believes she is able to make Singapore an even more creative, fun and exciting place to be in. She is currently working towards becoming a costume designer for Cirque Du Soleil and other musicals in the UK and USA.
