Chia Lieu is a true visionary in the world of bridal fashion. By the age of nine, Chia was a budding designer, reworking and creating hand-me-down clothes from her older brothers. Her designs impressed her parents so much, Chia was enrolled in a private school where she learned to master the necessary techniques in only two months. Little did she know, years later she would be the creative force and Founder behind Chia Lieu Designs, creating sophisticated, elegant and unique bridal gowns.

When she left Vietnam and arrived in the United States at the age of 28, Chia landed a job with Mark Heister. After a stint with the well-known designer at Chicago Apparel, Chia moved to California and worked with Beverly Hills bridal gown designer Norma Lenain. During this time, Chia also took additional fashion design college courses and earned the prestigious McKnight Scholarship, where her first bridal gown won the Best of Show award. Chia had arrived on the bridal scene and it was only a matter of time before she opened her own bridal salon in Laguna Hills and Lake Forest, California.

In October of 2004, Chia Lieu Designs was formed. Based in Southern California, each of Chia’s gowns reflect her innate style and meticulous eye for detail. Chia diligently searches for the perfect material and fabric for each dress and has built a successful business based on her impeccable taste and the quality of each custom-made gown.

Chia Lieu Designs are available at the Chia Lieu Bridal Store in Tustin, California, as well as select bridal boutiques throughout the country.
