Antonia Cheung studied archaeology and history in the UK. After completing an MBA and a stint in banking she went to London to study law but returned to Hong Kong to run the family business when her father fell ill. Initially turning to shibori as a therapeutic respite and her passion for the colour of navy blue, it is now an essential channel for her creative expression.
Through her internship with BUAISOU, she now truly appreciates the many possibilities of Aizome. Antonia’s favourite shibori patterns include midori, sirakage and kumo-iri yanagi shibori which yield a lot of white as She believes Aizome is as much about creating white spaces as it is creating blue patterns.
