Autumn's rich and bountiful harvest, warm earthen hues and its romantic melancholy have long inspired the works of artists from the sonnets of John Donne to the paintings of Claude Monet. The beauty and harmony of the Autumn season inspires Sue Wong's Fall 2012 Collection. "I love the fiery, dazzling hues of Autumn. Nature becomes an artist with a brilliant brush to color all trees, bushes and glorious sunsets. Each leaf becomes a rich, exotic flower. There is an earthiness about Autumn that is beautiful, and reminds us of our own poetic mortality," says designer, Sue Wong. 

The designer's homage to the season features her signature intricate couture embellishments including hand-beadwork, floral embroidery, and seutache vines paired with skirts of taffeta leaves, petals of organza and satin flowers on dazzling gowns in mineral hues of rich umber, sienna, deep forest green, and glistening gold. The Romantic Melancholy moods of Autumn are given voice in a collection of Gothic-inspired gowns incorporating Victorian passementrie work and jet beading. "I love that Sue isn't afraid of glamour," said actress, Brooke Burns.  The gorgeous gowns were complemented by spectacular jewelry from Vilaiwan.

Sue Wong's timeless designs are each beautiful and unique works of art and perpetuate the couture tradition of sophistication, glamour, and elegance. Her designs are sold in fine boutiques and department stores such as Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Nordstrom and in more than 27 countries internationally.
