Richard Chai
Smart, chic and sleek, Richard Chai’s creations meld the line
between women and men’s fashion, creatively incorporating
elements from men’s fashion into clothes that women will
adore wearing. Launching his self titled label in the Spring of
2005, Richard has gone on to conquer the world of high fashion with
his modern touches and design acuity. World renowned for his
innovative designs in womenswear, Richard has joined the ranks of
other high end Asian designers, incorporating his magical touch
into each delectable design in every one of his collections.
Tailored and sharp, designs by Richard Chai are a play on
sophistication. Experimenting first with more subdued, neutral
hues, Richard has expanded his palette to include vibrant colors
that are suitable for spring and summer. Flowing dresses, tailored
jackets and sharp suits is what the label is all about. Richard
uses masculine silhouettes, imbuing them with a feminine flair to
achieve outfits that look sexy and classy.
Richard Chai is a designer that understands the value of
understated elegance that most women look for. Perhaps one of his
most famous runway styles is his flair for pairing fabric
combinations that are unconventional. Light silk is paired with
heavier tweed and wool for instance, creating an aesthetic fusion
of styles, drapes and cuts that is quaintly unique to say the
least. In 2009, Richard Chai debuted his contemporary collection,
christening it Richard Chai Love, and runway reviews have been
stellar. A designer with a keen eye for lasting fashion, Richard
seems to be on the right track with both his men’s and
women’s collection.
