Draping in the Most Exquisite Dresses

Being a true Libran, Susanna Ngao has always had an appreciation for beauty. Following her dreams, she worked at Diane von Furstenberg and LaRok in New York while sketching up her own collection in between.

After winning the Arts of Fashion award in SF MOMA 2008, she traveled to Paris to apprentice under the French couturier, Anne Valerie Hash – the designer fell in love with the atelier and the work behind it all. With the combination of faith and dedication, Susanna launched S.Nine in 2009.

S.Nine is a poetic creation which embraces practicality and romance. S.Nine answers to modern women who appreciate clothing that is classic yet modern, romantic yet functional, and luxurious yet understated. The collection is a modern take on traditional foundations creating elegant silhouettes with the designer’s signature draping techniques. Ultimately, each piece is created to make women feel uplifted and inspired, allowing her to go about her life in her unique ways.
