Designer Profile
Self Portrait
Penang-born Han Chong found success with his Self-Portrait label, which modernises how lace is worn.Han, 38, is the creator of Self-Portrait, a label he started in London in 2013.
It found success very quickly. Self-Portrait was picked up - and sold out - by retailers such as Selfridges and Net-a-porter, celebrities started appearing in them, and it was praised by the fashion press.
The look is lace, but modernised and made quirky with strips of leather, suede and sheer panels. The quality of the lace is high, yet prices are, in Chong's word, "achievable" - about $350 for a top and $650 for a dress.
