In the three short years since Han Chong launched Self-Portrait, it’s become a very recognizable label on the fashion scene—spotted on everyone from red carpet A-listers to street-style stars.
A graduate of Central Saint Martins, Chong set out to create a line based around what women actually want—pieces that are easy to wear, yet have just enough design details to make them feel a bit more elevated and special. Each Self-Portrait collection builds upon the last, bridging the gaps and creating a fully-formed wardrobe. With pieces range from overtly-feminine to clean-lined and androgynous, Self-Portrait has something that speaks to everyone.
