Fashionista Fann Wong may have way too many clothes to keep track of these days but she still remembers her first pair of jeans.

'When I was a teenager, Levi's was the brand that everybody had to have,' she remembers.

'I saved up my pocket money until I could afford to buy a pair of button-up jeans,' she tells Urban in a phone interview from Sanya, China, where she is filming a movie, a romance entitled Blue Cornflowers.

It is fitting then that the MediaCorp actress, 38, has been appointed the new brand ambassador for Levi's Lady Style - a line of women's jeans, tops and accessories.

Prices for its jeans range from $179.90 to $399.90.

She is the American denim label's first Singaporean brand ambassador and follows in the footsteps of other regional superstar Levi's ambassadors, including Jolin Tsai for Taiwan, Michelle Reis for Hong Kong and Song Hye Kyo for South Korea.

The self-professed denim fan - she loves it all, from jackets to mini-skirts (Photo 2) - now has an entire rack of jeans, displayed so she can take them all in at a glance.

When asked which brands she favours, the ever-professional actress declines to name other labels and says she likes 'mainly Levi's' because of the variety of styles it has.

What is more important to her, she says, is the fit and cut of the jeans.

'I am quite adventurous when it comes to style. I will wear anything from low-waisted jeans to boot cut but I will keep trying on many pairs of jeans until I find the right fit,' she says.

Her current favourite style is the leather crop jeans, $399.90, by Levi's Lady Style.

She says this pair of jeans 'makes the wearer look slimmer and longer and also uplifts and pumps up the butt'.

Not that the svelte actress needs any help with looking slimmer.

What she might need though, is more time, especially for her wedding on Sept 29.

'Planning has stopped for the moment because it is now the seventh month,' says Wong of her upcoming nuptials. Her husband-to-be is fellow MediaCorp actor Christopher Lee.

The seventh month of the lunar calendar is the Hungry Ghost month, traditionally considered by the Chinese to be an inauspicious time for getting married.

Together with their wedding planner, celeb crimper David Gan, the couple have managed to send out invites to some of the 1,000 guests who will be attending their dinner at Shangri-la Hotel.

Everything else, including the bridal shower, the bachelor party and the bridal photoshoot, will have to be 'fitted in' when she returns to Singapore early next month.

At least Wong has figured out her wardrobe for her big day.

Her wedding gown is an 'elegant strapless bustier gown with a big skirt' by American designer Vera Wang, while her evening gown will be custom-made by Swiss designer label Bally, best known for their shoes and bags.

Even her feet will dazzle in sparkly confections by Italian shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti - his wedding gift to her.

If things seem to be on track, it is thanks to Gan, her 'Ah Bu' (a Hokkien term of endearment that means 'mother'), who has taken it upon himself to plan the whole affair.

Says Wong: 'He is so stressed because everybody is looking forward to the wedding. Yet when I asked him if I should take up the role for this movie, he told me to go ahead and leave everything to him. I really have to thank him.'
