Yoyo Cao, also known by her social media handle, Yoyo Kulala, is a Singapore based fashion designer and digital entrepreneur.

Personal life

Originally born in Macau, Yoyo Cao is a Singapore Permanent Resident.[4] She came to Singapore to further her education at 13 years old. In Singapore, she stayed with a caretaker until she was 18 years old before deciding to live independently.[5] Yoyo graduated from a private university in Singapore[6] with a Business degree.[7] In a 2017 interview with 8Days, Yoyo revealed that she had been offered an acting gig "a few years ago" by Huayi Brothers, a well-reputed entertainment company based in China.[8] She had declined the offer at the time due to her lack of interest in being an actress.


Yoyo has a son together with her partner Matthews Chang[9] who is the joint founder and Chief Operations Officer of TOKIGAMES.[10] In December 2017, she announced her pregnancy on Instagram.[11] The following year in March, she posted a picture of her new-born child, introducing him to her friends and followers as Luca.[12]


Yoyo is also good friends with Korean celebrity Jessica Jung who was a member of the k-pop group, Girls Generation. During the Dolce & Gabbana show at the 2018 Milan Fashion Week, Yoyo showed her support for Jessica through an Instagram story of her catwalk with the caption "Omgggg what a surprise!!!! So good to see your friend on the runway!!! @jessica.syj".[13]

In 2015, Yoyo was selected to be the advertising spokesperson of L’Officiel Singapore Magazine (official site).[14] In recognition of her Instagram following and content, she was given the opportunity to attend and document various fashion shows all around the world on behalf of the magazine.[15] Since then, she has worked on Instagram advertorials in partnership with high-end brands like Bulgari, Mont Blanc, Tiffany & Co., and SK-II.[16]

Exhibit (2010 - Present)

Yoyo founded Exhibit as a platform to expand the fashion scene in Singapore. Exhibit started off as an importer and distributor of reasonably priced Asian fashion brands.[17] In 2010, she launched a flagship physical fashion store at Far East Plaza.[18] After her first fashion showcase at Singapore Fashion Week in 2014,[19] Yoyo decided to start a fashion label where she designed her own clothes.[20] Yoyo continued to participate as a designer in all future iterations of Singapore Fashion Week until its last edition in 2017.[21][22]


Exhibit store (Exhibit shop) is now exclusively online, and the physical store at Far East Plaza has since closed.[23] The label stocks a variety of fashion-forward womenswear that are minimalist in their colour palette yet detailed in their construction. On average, the clothing items retail from S$60 to S$250.
