Founder of Self-Portrait Han Chong saw a gap in the market for mid-range yet elegant evening wear – so founded his own contemporary fashion label. Launched in 2013, Self-Portrait is now a rising force in the fashion world. Meet the man behind it in Selfridges’ new Contemporary Studio on 3 for an intimate evening featuring complimentary cocktails, sweet treats and live entertainment. Free, but RSVP essential (to selfportrait@selfridges.co.uk) – places are limited.
