Liu Peiji not only has impressive achievements in fashion design, but also is the first image designer in the local music scene. 1In July, 982, Anita Mui, standing on the stage, won the first rookie singing contest with his excellent singing performance "The Season of the Wind". At that time, she was still in the groping stage of the music world, with no distinct image, until she met "he" Liu Peiji. Since attending the Tokyo Music Festival, "He" has designed costumes, album images and concert stage costumes for "She", and they have worked closely together to create the myth of "ever-changing". Time flies, bad girls, red lips, witches, ladies ... every popular song is connected with a distinctive and classic image, and her stage costumes are still talked about by people today. Her image has changed a lot. Every time she stepped onto the stage, she became the focus of everyone and became a unique female singer-"Anita Mui".
The appearance of "Amazing Anita Mui" presented the audience with exquisite and unique stage costumes, free dance steps and confident and unique interpretation, which brought infinite audio-visual shock to the audience.

Every image expectation has become a topic in the city. From the concert of 1985 "Anita Mui shines brilliantly", Liu Peiji devoted all her love, considering the arrangement of genres, the theme of the conference, the relationship between "stage, lighting and sound" and the steps of singers, and designed classic stage costumes and images for her with exquisite three-dimensional tailoring to create a unique stage queen. Under the stage, he dressed up for her; At the moment when the stage rose, she was highly expected; On the stage, she easily shocked the audience. There are hubert de givenchy and Audrey Hepburn in the west and Liu Peiji and Anita Mui in the east. The relationship between designers and stars is also mutual respect and cherish. Anita Mui and Liu Peiji have known each other and cooperated for 20 years, and they are very tacit partners at work. In 2003, Anita Mui held her last concert. He specially designed a gorgeous red and gold western-style dress and a simple and grand pure white wedding dress for her to fulfill her last wish and marry the stage. In the past 20 years, "He" pioneered the image design of local singers, and together with "She" created "Amazing Anita Mui", which became a legend in Hong Kong music scene.

Another unforgettable thing is to create a dream lover, Leslie Cheung, who is a bit unruly in her youthful vitality and exudes melancholy in her maturity, which charms many fans. Liu Peiji not only designed images and costumes for the Emperor's superstars, but also designed images for the new singers of Huaxing Entertainment Record Company in his early years. Many young singers became the backbone of music in those years. Liu's love for the younger generation can be seen in the stage costume designed for Anita Mui's beloved disciple He Yunshi in 2006.

In his autobiography, Liu Peiji opened the inner barrier for the first time and talked with his close friends about his life experience, love life and many unknown past events. Liu Pei's friendship is very important, and there are not many real friends in life. A sentence that often hangs on my lips is "I am not afraid that you are not good to me, but I am afraid that you are good to me." He and his best friend are both "personality superstars", and they both have tempers. When they disagree, they will have a good fight, and then their anger will disappear. What they remember is their mutual kindness, including the famous writer Jin Yong, the famous Cantonese opera actress, the versatile David Henry Hwang, talented women, a generation of supermodels and so on. Tan, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui, the important stars of Hong Kong music, know little about him. They seldom express their vulnerability in front of others, but they don't hide it in front of him. The story of his meeting with these celebrities is also recorded in his autobiography.
As a pioneer of fashion design, Liu Peiji embodies the spirit of Hong Kong. He started as an apprentice tailor in Hong Kong, and later went to London to study fashion design in the early 1970s. 1977, he was invited for the first time to participate in the ready-to-wear festival organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, and his design was named after himself as the finale.

In the late1970s, Eddie began to cooperate closely with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, seeking to open up new markets in Chinese mainland, and to open up new markets for the fashion industry in Hong Kong, so as to cross the mainland and the sea.

It was July 1982. Anita stood on the stage and sang the song "Wind Season" beautifully. Her singing talent left a deep impression on the judges, and she won the first newcomer award held by TV Broadcasting Co., Ltd. But in her early career, when she simply imitated other styles, she had no image of herself. Then she met him, Liu Peiji. Since their earliest cooperation in Tokyo Music Festival, he has designed costumes for her, her image on the album cover and the stage costumes for her concert. They worked harmoniously together and created an ever-changing style. With the passage of time, bad girls, fiery lips, evil girls and ladies have become classic pop songs, and each capital is associated with a unique and eye-catching image.

Liu Peiji designed various images for Anita Mui, including album covers, concerts, awards ceremonies and publicity activities. A successful image is more than just dressing a singer in fashionable clothes. It combines their personality with the theme and feeling of the song into a complete whole, projects a unique concept, leaves a lasting impression on the audience and consolidates the singer's attraction. Visitors who are familiar with Hong Kong's pop music scene in the1980s will still remember some images related to Anita: the passage of time, the masculinity of suits and ties; A bad girl who is unconventional but fashionable; The Arabian goddess of evil girls; And a femme fatale with red lips. Fanatical expectation greeted the prospect of every new style, and when it finally appeared, it soon became the topic of the town. Starting with 1985' s "Anita Mui Concert", Eddie injected all his passion into creating images, which reflected Anita Mui's position as the undisputed queen on the stage, and considered all different viewpoints-the theme of the concert, the outline of the song, the interaction of stage, lighting and sound effects, and Anita Mui's choreography. Every stage costume and image he created for Anita is a classic in itself, which is especially due to his extraordinary three-dimensional cutting skills in his creation.
Under the stage, he put all his attention on getting her ready, so that when she stood up and entered the auditorium, all his eyes were on her admission. On the stage, his design fascinated everyone with her unrestrained performance.

In a creative cross experiment, Eddie fulfilled his promise to his good friend Tam and served as the costume designer and director of Roman's China musical "Liu Yi Cai Enshu" in 1984. Later, he designed many eternal stage costumes and album images for Roman, showing his simple, mature and sophisticated artists under the luxurious sequins performance in his early years. Another unforgettable project is to turn Leslie Cheung into a dream lover. Leslie's young side is full of energy and slightly rebellious; In contrast, the mature side expresses a trace of melancholy. Both fascinated Leslie's fans. Liu Peiji not only provided image and fashion guidance for Hong Kong superstars, but also designed images for emerging singers of Capital Artists Limited in the early days of the company, some of whom later became the pillars of Hong Kong pop music.
