His 1989 collection was based on a "peasant" look which came to him during a visit to China.[3] He was well received in Hong Kong but subsequent collections in the early 1990s featuring cheongsam (qipao) failed to make an impression in Paris.[4]
Tang also did corporate image design for Dragon Air and Hong Kong Airport. One of his works was displayed along with other Hong Kong fashion designers at the "Fashion Attitude - Hong Kong Fashion Design" exhibition in 2007.[5]
He is a member of the Tang Clan of the New Territories.[6]
