Self-Portrait was Established in 2013 By Han Chong in London, with a creative vision to make beautiful design accessible to all women .
Born in Penang, Malaysia, Han came to London in 2003 to study at Central Saint Martins, graduating with a degree in Womenswear Design. Enamoured by the city’s vivacity and cultural vibrancy, he quickly made it his adopted home. Initially pursuing a career in the visual arts, Han exhibited works at the 53rd Venice Biennale but was motivated to launch Self-Portrait with the realisation that he wanted to create work that touched more people. The name Self-Portrait was born, to be a reflection of the women in the designs.
Designed in London, made for the world - Self-Portrait believes in celebrating and empowering the women in the clothes. Femininity ensured by elegant functionality, reflecting a sincere engagement and appreciation for a contemporary way of life.
In 2018, Self-Portrait's first flagship store opened on Albemarle Street in London. Working with Casper Mueller Kneer Architects, Han Chong ensured the architectural design of the store manifests Self-Portrait's insistence that quality experience and modern luxury should be within reach for all.
