In a walkthrough of the Spiring 2026 collection of the self-portrait, the conversations quickly turned into the reshuffle of the creative directors of this season, and the 15-debut designers were dying to define the look of the moment. Founder Han Chong, like all of us, is curious to see what happens there, but will delight them happily to set the agenda. Great thing about self-portrait, and the reason for this is a professional phenomenon, it is that Chong is already more interested in being fashionable and refined. If the collective mood states that polka-dot fabric or funnel-neck jackets are in circulation, it will oblige, to make them wearing and as reliable as possible with tweex for ratio, cut and construction. “The question is always: how do we build and correct a piece?” He said. “So this tendency is timeless even after moving forward.” It is not radical, but the clothes are good, and it works.
Chong began to think about this season, while a Hong Kong’s heat and London’s cold to fly somewhere. “Every time I go to Asia, I like, ‘nonsense, it’s too hot to wear clothes,” he said. “Then I go to Europe or the United States, and well, our suitcase must be able to adjust all climate.” This task became about dressing for summer when summer means different things around the world. Their solution was a wardrobe in which these two methods were: in autumn but in the form of spring in construction as light. Crochet rompers, cropped trench coats, and pluse-back cutouts with Viscose-Royon Maxis. One-off satan shifts, a Aries column, which tile with rhinestones, and halter-neck minis in croc-leasure denim. The leather used for the drop-cam biker jacket and shrunk bombers and Rafal short-shorts was almost felt like silk, while the development of a New Jersey-Ultrafine-Bebi Pink, Yellow, and Variated strips with large piercing strips with adequate weight to catch a sculpted drape.
The ability to innovate in construction decreases on the scale. Chong has created a state-of-the-art manufacturing hub across Asia, which means that he can actually drill down in Minutiae-End-Finish, the most young trim details-and quickly answer when the sale data shows what his customers really want. (In many ways, he has become more as a product designer, improving in his final composition compared to a fashion-vith-e-Capital-F designer.) Women who are choosing are pieces with cleaner lines and low decorations. “Our audience is diverse, but the best-selectors across the board are lighter and fresh,” he said. “So it was to feel free.” It was a feeling of ease that had increased to the lookbook, which for once, against a background, which was shot with a mileland pose, but on the London streets and about it. The clothes looked better for this: a little less precious. You believed that the models inside them can also be people.
