The eldest in a family of eight, he aspired to become a fine artist contrary to his parents' wishes that he pursue a traditional profession. In time, his father compromised and agreed to send him to Paris where he studied couture at the famous Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne.
After graduating with first-place honours, Sung moved to New York to study at the renowned Parsons School of Design. Upon completion, he began the task of honing his talent while working as an assistant designer for a Seventh Avenue dress manufacturer.
In 1972, Alfred Sung moved to Canada. His next step was designing for a sportswear manufacturer in Toronto's garment district. His exceptional fashion illustration skills allowed him to supplement his junior designer's wages for free-lance projects. Before long, armed with determination, the encouragement of friends and limited savings, he courageously set out on his own. Sung opened a tiny shop in Toronto's trendy Yorkville neighbourhood called, Moon.
By 1979, Saul and Joseph Mimran together with Sung joined forces to create a buisiness that soon chnged the face of the Canadian fashion industry. In 1980, the three partners formed Monaco Group Inc., the corporate entity that would develop the ALFRED SUNG brand and the ready-to-wear collection directed to working women. Within months, the ALFRED SUNG brand appeared in major department and specialty stores across Canada. In 1981, the ALFRED SUNG label was launched in the United States through Saks Fifth Avenue. Within a year, the clothing appeared in stores such as Macy's, Nordstrom's, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. That same year, Sung opened his first freestanding store in Toronto's prestigious Hazelton Lames. It was in 1983 that Canada's national news magazine, MacLean's, proclaimed Alfred Sung as Canada's "King of Fashion."
The ALFRED SUNG trademark had gained great fame in North America for its fashions, however, in 1986 with the launch of Parfums ALFRED SUNG, through Riviera Concepts, the SUNG trademark further raised its profile and status by becoming a famous fragrance brand. SUNG by ALFRED SUNG, the first ladies' perfume launched in 1986, was followed by numerous successful launches including SHI ALFRED SUNG in 2001 and ALFRED SUNG PARADISE in 2003. In 2005 a new signature fragrance, JEWEL ALFRED SUNG was launched. ALFRED SUNG framgrances have enjoyed an unprecedented success in North America.
Alfred Sung and the Mimrans have embarked on an aggressive fashion licensing campaign unprecedented in the Canadian fashion industry. The ALFRED SUNG licensed product lines include fragrance, eyewear, sunglasses, bridal, jewellery and fashion accessories, men's clothing and accessories, among others. In 2005 the ALFRED SUNG HOME collection was launched exclusively through Zellers-HBC in Canada. Featured in 276 Zellers stores this extensive collection of furniture, bedding, bath, home decor, tabletop and kitchen products has won immediate consumer acceptance.
