Korean-born Sunny Choi made her mark in Canada’s fashion scene after she moved to Toronto from Seoul to continue her studies at OCAD. She became a painter and illustrator, and eventually moved into fashion design after 1985. She was known for formal dresses and skirt suits, and was in demand by celebrities for red carpet gowns. Her gowns have been worn by Susan Sarandon, Daryll Hannah, Sharon Stone and Alison Krauss to name a few!
She had a 20 year long career designing clothing, selling in Saks and Nordstrom and many other boutiques across North America. She eventually opened her own boutiques in 1997.
She has since retired from fashion design and has continued her art career with painting.
