Perhaps best known for the highly individual color combinations such as rich blue python, metallic silver alligator and striking violet ostrich, Sang A juxtaposes jeweled tones with strong, distinguished, geometric shapes that stand out in any environment - whether on the streets of New York or on the red carpet. Proof of the collection's appeal is a burgeoning celebrity and fashion fan base including Jessica Simpson, Ashlee Simpson, Bijoux Phillips, Keira Knightley, Nicky Hilton, Mischa Barton, Rachel Roy, Margherita Missoni and a host of New York socialites and fashion media.

No stranger to celebrity herself, Sang A's personal background is as beguiling as her designs. Korean-born Sang A's first profession was that of a performer in a large range of professional musicals before moving on to become a popular stage/television actress and singer. She went on to release three pop music albums on a major label and became one of Korea's most promising celebrities by the age of 26. Having held a long fascination with the costumes, colors and styling of her stage outfits, it was common for Sang A to style her own video clips and create looks in her personal wardrobe that resonated throughout her native country. While on a business trip to New York City in 1998, Sang A felt a stronger calling to the world of fashion and decided to move onto a larger stage, challenging herself to succeed in design in New York City.
