This fashion catalogue lists the full Benny Ong Spring-Summer 1976 collection. This particular collection was displayed in October 1975 at the London Designer Collections Exhibition at the Inn On The Park Hotel and The Montcalm Hotel. This was Benny Ong’s debut year as a designer when he established his label after graduating from St Martin’s School of Art and Design. Ong was also a founding member of the London Designer Collections, which represents the best of British designers. By the early 1980s, Benny Ong established himself as a Singaporean fashion designer in London well-known for his designer cocktail and evening wear. His early collections were sold at Harrods and Selfridges, two of London’s most reputable departmental stores and his list of high-profile clients included Diana, Princess of Wales and Queen Noor of Jordan.
