DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT
Meet Han Chong
Founder and Creative Director of Self-Portrait

We are delighted to have Han Chong, the Founder and Creative Director behind the contemporary luxury label, Self-Portrait, joining us for this BAZAAR Academy session.

Associate Fashion Director of Harper’s BAZAAR Singapore, Jeffrey Yan will be speaking to Han Chong about his journey to global success.

Born in Penang, Malaysia, Han Chong moved 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.
