Are you looking for a New Year’s Eve dress with a unique twist? The latest addition to Cruise’s designer line-up is London based brand Self-Portrait and is guaranteed to give you the quirky, detailed, feminine style you need. Founded by Han Chong, a Malaysian-born Central Saint Martin’s graduate, Self-Portrait’s aesthetic is contemporary and feminine with an urban-infusion.
Layering textures, lace and cut out detailing, Chong is quoted to have taken his inspiration from “current trends… but also from historical references and sources outside of fashion.” Modernity and history isn’t the only marriage of styles, as garments combine both androgynous and girly influences.
Not only does Chong’s Self-Portrait offer up an eclectic fusion of identities, they’re all presented at a pleasingly accessible price: “girls with a normal income can buy them… If they are too expensive it takes the fun out of it.” Perfect if you have more than just one social event to attend this festive season!
With a number of A-list fans including the likes of Jenifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Reece Witherspoon and Miranda Kerr, we forecast big things for this relatively new label. Emulate the stunning red-carpet worthy style of Self-Portrait and express your individuality with some of our unique pieces here.
