Cheng-Huai Chuang got his start in design as a young boy by dressing mannequins at his parents’ clothing store in Taipei, Taiwan. In high school, he designed and starred in his own fashion show, “The Little Boy’s Girl” at the Nan-Hai Art Gallery, part of National Taipei University. This show led to an invitation to design costumes for an experimental theater production, “Yes, but not Only” by the Van Body Theater (formerly, Chibody Theater Troupe). He was also invited to participate in the Taipei Taiwan Art Festival after graduating high school.
In 2006, at the age of 18, Cheng came to New York City to attend Parsons School of Fashion Design. Cheng is currently a design intern for emerging Philippine designer Marc Rancy and launched his first collection for Fall/Winter 2010 in February 2010 during New York Fashion Week. Recently, he designed costumes for the musical "You are a Good Man, Charlie Brown" and designed gowns for the Miss New York Pageant and National Sweetheart Pageant of Miss Manhattan 2009 and Miss Jubilee 2010, Inga Schlingmann. He is also the exclusive designer for drag queen Sherry Vine and is currently producing a t-shirt line featuring Sherry and other drag queens called Drag Tease.
