If you're looking for a cocktail dress for the upcoming summer party season that you're absolutely sure no one will own or even have seen, then make sure to check out the Self Portrait Summer 2014 collection.
Designed by London-based contemporary designer Han Chong, the Self Portrait Summer 2014 collection is filled with urban and feminine pieces that beautifully define the idea of comfortable luxury. The label's pieces are known for their leather and lace signatures and the new collection does not disappoint. What makes the latest collection so special is the intricate lace paneling and architectural silhouettes in each one of her pieces. The talented designer is not afraid of using color, textures and patterns -- because she uses them in the perfect way -- as this refreshing collection portrays.
"It dares to be feminine and detailed. I gather my inspiration not only from the current trends and what's going on right now, but also from historical references and sources outside of fashion," says Chong.
