You’d usually expect to see one of Han Chong’s Self-Portrait creations stitched with a flurry of guipure lace, ruffles and embroidery, but this season the designer is sidestepping his usual archetypes in favour of something simpler. Cut from breezy cotton, this dress is shaped with a plunging V-neck, a billowing skirt and an open back framed with ties. Oh, and did we mention the ruffles floating over the shoulders? We knew he wouldn’t be able to resist.
