Alongside the world's most renowned couturiers like Alexis Mabelle and Gustavo Lins, Hong Kong's Barney Cheng, well-known for his luxurious evening gowns, will debut his latest collection at the second Haute Couture Week in Singapore. He chats to Terry Ong about the 5Cs before his much-anticipated showing tomorrow at the Marina Bay Sands.

Couture is... a little piece of heaven on earth.

Creation is... the realization of dreams.

Cash is... Ka-ching Ka-ching to da bling, da bling!

Compulsion is... not a word I know; passion and desire are.

Credit is... overrated. Repeat customers are the best pat on the back.
