Richard Chai - In Studio

This question was submitted by Vicky Yang

VY: As one of several rising Asian-American designers in the industry today, how do you feel that your heritage has inspired you in your creative intellect?


RC: The influence my heritage has on my collection is in the pure/ minimal approach to design. It is also in the way I cut clothes in an unconventional way. At first glance, the clothes appear quite simple, but upon closer inspection one can see all the intricate details and construction lines.


Thanks Vicky, great question
