Ong Shunmugam is a Singapore-based contemporary womenswear label founded by designer Priscilla Shunmugam. It is designed and made across Asia and offers ready-to-wear ranges and bespoke designs. Known for its innovative take on the cheongsam and integrating traditional textiles and Asian-inspired designs in its collections, Ong Shunmugam has been described as being "a thoughtful reinterpretation of traditional Asian ethnic wear... designed for an intelligent woman".〔(【引用サイトリンク】first=Julianne )〕 ==History== In December 2010, Ong Shunmugam launched with its first ready-to-wear collection ''Orientalism'', and in September 2011, debuted its first cheongsam collection ''Guardianship''.
