“With everything that I do, I need to know that I will be able to make a real impact. That is how I operate”
— HAN CHONG
an Chong does not waste time. The day before his cover shoot and interview with, he hosted four separate sessions to personally introduce Self-Portrait’s pre-fall 2023 collection to his Malaysian clientele. Kuala Lumpur was the penultimate stop of his short Asia tour, having completed his rounds in Hong Kong, Taipei, and Shanghai. His next stop is Singapore; it is on the day of our photo shoot and he cannot miss his flight. Chong’s busy schedule is meticulously pre-planned months, and sometimes even a year, in advance, but this is his normal; he has always worked at a breakneck pace.
