Self-Portrait NYFW S/S19 – Review

INSPIRED BY: Designer Han Chong’s recent trip to Ibiza – think the sort of party frocks you’d don after a day at the beach.
POP-CULTURE NOD: Katy Perry handing over $200,000 for a two-and-a-half hour voyage with six minutes of weightlessness aboard Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic ship for a bout of star gazing.
WEAR IT TO: Browse the blooms at London’s Columbia Road Flower Market in Shoreditch, before heading to the Marylebone for a chili lychee martini.
FIRST READ: Chong delivered an array of signature lacey cocktail frocks in varying lengths, ruffled party frocks and sheer skirts and button-downs, and geometric prints in what marked a departure from the brand’s former monochromatic collections.
BEST LOOK: A brown one-shoulder swimsuit with a strategic cutout, worn over a matching lurex knit with ruffled sleeves, styled with pullup socks and black booties.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: Oversized vacation-ready sack bags, space-inspired sunglasses, black-and-white pointed flats.
SPOTTED IN THE FROW: Olivia Palermo, Aimee Song, Camila Coelho, Xenia Adonts, Tina Leung, Mary Lawless Lee, Vanessa Hong, Caroline Daur, Leonie Hanne, Mimi Xu, Victoria McGrath, Nina Suess, Sandra Hagelstam, Malaika Firth, Tiffany Hsu, Hsu Wei-ning, Joanna Halpin, Camila Coutinho, Liz Uy, Lareen Uy, Danielle Bernstein.
