All three of my assistants and [I] just gasped the moment she put it on.

Swennen knew that the dress was a perfect fit for Wong the second she laid eyes on it.
Its an exquisite piece of art.
I just knew that she was the fearless person that was going to pull it off.

While fashion is a more recent venture for Wong, Swennen admires that shes willing to dive in headfirst.
Its something that I think is fairly new to her and shes really embracing it, she adds.
And as a stylist, its a dream.
