Han Chong’s genius is not a mystery in fashion. The founder and creative soul behind Self-Portrait has spun yet another web of wonder with his Spring/Summer 2024 collection. A line that’s a design, echoing the whispers of spring with each stitch and seam. This array of outfits mirrors a garden in full bloom, capturing the very essence of rebirth and renewal associated with spring.
“The direction is very spring and summer focused – quite literally,” Chong shares with a sparkle in his eyes, reminiscent of the first ray of sun after a long winter, during a preview at his London headquarters. He’s weaving magic, stripping down the grandeur yet amping up the elegance; less is more and every piece is a testament to this philosophy.
In the heart of this collection, the essence of Self-Portrait blooms – sophistication entwined with simplicity. Think breezy twinsets and ruffle-trimmed dresses, where each piece is an ode to the awakening of nature. The broderie anglaise miniskirts are not just a fashion statement but a gentle reminder of summer in the city vibes.

This Spring/Summer 2024 line is a tribute to adaptability. Stretch knits morph into chic low-slung maxiskirts paired harmoniously with matching bikini bottoms. Floral-accented shift dresses and floor-length wraps are as versatile as they are enchanting, showcasing Chong’s uncanny ability to marry comfort with style.
Denim, the timeless classic, finds its rightful place in this collection, adding a touch of casual chic. Decorated with an abundance of miniature crystals, the denim pieces are a nod to the quintessential Self-Portrait aesthetic. Imagine crop tops, bolero jackets, baggy jeans, and A-line Bermuda shorts – each piece a symphony of relaxed elegance and opulent detailing.
As the sun sets and the stars twinkle, the collection transitions gracefully.
Evening-appropriate dresses, adorned in striking cuts, capture the allure of the night. Sequin-flecked minidresses and figure-hugging, thigh-slit stretch viscose Little Black Dresses, with hip cutouts, ensure the Self-Portrait admirer is the cynosure of every gaze.
“The collection exudes a certain ease, offering our esteemed clientele an ensemble that is as comfortable as it is elegant,” Chong elaborates. Indeed, the Self-Portrait Spring/Summer 2024 collection is a lighter, refreshing interpretation of the brand’s core, retaining the signature refinement yet embracing the blossoming new season.
