Dexter Wong

Hailed as “the man who defined the club-obsessed fashion of the early Nineties” by UK’s The Independent, Dexter Wong definitely deserves his mark on our list. His designs have been worn by famous musicians such as David Bowie, U2 and Robbie Williams. In 2004, Dexter Wong launched a diffusion line named Peoples Market, targeting the youthful generation that are passionate about music and lifestyle. His other projects include designing his own successful range for Lens at Topman.
