According to Han Chong of Self-Portrait, the current Tailor mood is “not too complicated” and big is “small details and fabric development”. It’s a key message for his spring collection, where the biggest statement comes from mesh and fishnet fabrics with embroidered crystal embellishments, which Chong uses for a variety of body-hugging silhouettes. A long-sleeved maxi dress with embellishments is a beautiful beach cover-up in a black bikini. Meanwhile, other body-hugging dresses and pieces, such as the asymmetric dress, a long-sleeved pair with a cutout at the waist in a rainbow sherbet shade, or a short-sleeved crop top paired with a miniskirt with cutout lace-up detailing on the thighs in green, appear to be Made for cocktail hour in Miami Beach.
Even Chong’s playful suits have gotten a little more petite this season; jackets are cut, skirts are at the top of the thighs, often with extra slits . Sexy denim suits and dresses often incorporate his signature bow motif, while other black denim pieces are cut to basic shapes and updated with slits and boxy, more modern cuts. His bow bag also returns in a smaller shape, in a variety of materials including silver leather and mint green jacquard, with diamond detailing at the top.
“She enjoys herself and takes care of the things that are important to her,” Chong said of this season’s Self-Portrait girls. His fans are sure to love going on a tropical getaway in his latest outfit.
