YOU could say that vintage runs in the blood of retail consultant Cary Cheng. In the 2000s, Cheng ran Glamour Inc., a revolving showroom showcasing emerging British and European fashion designers and as well as vintage wear in between seasons.

Glamour Inc is no longer around, but Cheng still has a large collection of vintage wear that he has amassed over the years.

Some were collected from Cheng’s early days in the retail industry, when he was working at the now-defunct Glamourette, one of the first local retailers to bring in high-end European labels since the 1950s.
