Bella Hadid Transforms To Unveil Key Looks From The Self-Portrait Spring/Summer 2022 Collection Revealed During London Fashion Week

LONDON, Sept. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- "When I think of the Self-Portrait woman, I never just have one person in mind - for me, the joy of what I do comes from designing for women with different personalities, different attitudes, and different ways of living their lives. I wanted to celebrate this spirit with my new collection and wanted to present the different facets of the Self-Portrait woman with a series of images of Bella Hadid transforming into varying sides of her character." Han Chong, Self-Portrait Founder and Creative Director

British fashion house Self-Portrait has today revealed looks from its Spring/Summer 2022 Collection with a series of images of Bella Hadid, previewed on the last day of London Fashion Week.

Captured by British photographer Harley Weir, the images document the different sides to Bella Hadid and showcase the many facets of the Self-Portrait woman.

Collaborating with stylist Haley Wollens, hair stylist Jawara Wauchope and make-up artist Sam Visser, Bella was transformed into different sides of her character for the preview of Self-Portrait's new collection.

For Spring Summer 2022, Self-Portrait's Founder and Creative Director Han Chong was inspired by the transition into life in the outside world, and his latest collection features rich colours, new silhouettes and a blend of softened textures. New shapes in pastels and strong colour tones are designed to be worn effortlessly, embracing the free-spirited and relaxed ease of a new modern way of dressing.

Han Chong, Self-Portrait Founder and Creative Director, said:

"After what feels like a lifetime spent indoors. I was inspired to design a modern approach to dressing - strong, feminine styles but always soft and relaxed at the same time. This collection is a love letter to the Self-Portrait woman - one who is free to face the world, feel like herself in all her different guises and have fun again."

Harley Weir has also captured Bella Hadid for the brand's Spring/Summer campaign which will be released in full in January 2022, in line with the collection being available online at self-portrait-studio.com, in Self-Portrait stores globally and through an international network of select retailers.

Established in 2013 by Han Chong, Self-Portrait has become synonymous with empowering the modern woman through functional dressing for day and night. The brand is also strongly committed to supporting creative British talent through a number of initiatives including a scholarship program with Central Saint Martins.
