Anita Mui cheongsam with black and white striped top and red dress (2)

Fusing Eastern and Western elements, Eddie Lau designed a cheongsam with black and white stripes in 2001 for Anita's appearance at the 20th Hong Kong Film Awards. As Eddie was unable to find a black-and-white striped material that best suited his design, he sewed black stripes onto a piece of white fabric, which he then set off against a tailored red flare skirt to create a truly unique outfit. Wearing this cheongsam, Anita sang Rouge at the ceremony before presenting the Best Actress Award. Photo of Anita Mui, Eddie Lau and Pat Suet Sin.
