BRAND LOVE: SELF-PORTRAIT

self-portrait-10-2

Do you ever spot an amazing piece of clothing on someone while taking a casual scroll through your Instagram feed, but it isnt tagged and the brand isnt mentioned in the caption. And you’re like, I HAVE TO FIND OUT WHERE THIS IS FROM IMMEDIATELY SO I CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET IT ON MY BODY??? Well this happens to me, often. It most recently happened when I saw uber-blogger Kristina Bazan in a dreamy white lazer-cut lace dress the other day. I set off on a Internet search to find where this dress was from.

Sadly I could not find the dress’s source anywhere and tried to convince myself it was probably a luxury brand my recent college grad budget could not afford. But then yesterday while catching up on blog list the dress popped up on more than one! It was meant to be! And this is the story how I found my new favorite brand, Self-Portrait.

The brand’s founder is Han Chong, the former creative director of the cool girl cocktail dress line, Three Floor. The designs are beyond gorgeous, and totally up my alley. Feminine silhouettes made from intricate fabrics with a totally modern vibe, and all with non-intimidating price tags. Yes please.

I love this quote from Han Chong on his line;
“I work with an excellent and highly skilled team, both in the studio and in the factory, and it allows me to keep my designs within a price range, so that girls with a normal income can buy them, If they are too expensive it takes the fun out of it. I want to create clothes that make women feel special. They’ll appreciate the thought that has gone into each piece and feel like they have bought something unique without breaking their bank balance.”
