Eddie Lau Pui-Kei (born February 24, 1951) is a fashion designer in Hong Kong. Lau has worked in the fashion industry since 1962 until his retirement in 1999, but he has never left his profession up to now. He was at the peak of his career in the 1980s, when he designed haute couture and stage costumes for the celebrities, such as Eunice Lam(林燕妮), Bak Sheut-sin (白雪仙), Liza Wang (汪明荃), Michelle Yeoh (楊紫瓊), Anita Mui (梅艷芳). Lau was also employed to design uniforms for international brands – Cathay Pacific (1999, 2011), Cathay Dragon (2013) and gained much recognition. He is the first fashion designer whose works have become a focus of the Hong Kong Heritage Museum’s collection In 2013, the Hong Kong Heritage Museum held an exhibition of Lau, named ‘他Fashion傳奇Eddie Lau‧她Image百變‧劉培基’ and his autobiography Clair de Lune (《舉頭望明月．劉培基自傳》) was released in the same year.

In 1999, Lau completed a project for Cathay Pacific – designing the flight attendant uniforms. He used ‘The Heart of Asia’ as his inspiration, and the design received a myriad of positive responses from the public. He retired after he had finished the project.

Lau was born in Hong Kong. He has never seen his father, while his mother was Pansy Cheung (孟君), a reputable author. When he was eight years old, he was sent to a boarding school in Fanling. However, his mother did not pay any of his tuition fees. At the age of 11, Lau started out as an apprentice under a Shanghai tailor, Hai Hung-fat, in Tsim Sha Tsui. During this period, Lau learned the craftsmanship which became particularly useful throughout his career. Also, the experience gained from the apprenticeship inspired the three elements that were emphasized in his future designs – silhouette, simplicity and elegance.

Later on, Lau launched his own lines:‘EDDIE LAU’and‘KAI’(姫). He also founded his own fashion boutiques with his own brand ‘EDDIE LAU’ in Hong Kong and Japan, and collaborated with Chinese Arts and Crafts (H.K.) Ltd. to create several fashion collections. With these notable accomplishments, Lau became the first-ever Hong Kong designer to own an individual workshop and boutique.

In the 1980s, apart from fashion design and haute couture, Lau began his work in image design and stage costumes for pop stars, and the most iconic artist is Anita Mui (梅艷芳), who dressed up in Lau’s garments for almost every occasion and won the title of’Ever Changing Anita Mui'(百變梅艷芳).
