Melange Checked Wool-Blend Mini Skirt

If you thought Self-Portrait was all gauzy fabrics and frothy lace appliqués, think again. Creative Director Hang Chong proves she still has a few cards up her sleeve with the Melange skirt. Abandoning its signature airy textiles to opt for a sturdier alternative, the label pieces together this style from soft tweed, interwoven with contrasting threads and intertwined trims. Laced with a skin-baring front slit, it's topped with gleaming buttons and pockets aplenty – so you can leave your loaded carryall at home.

Self Portrait is all about creating feminine clothes, embellished with lace, leather and details that reveal their street style influences. Their collection of cool modern classics spans tailoring to accessories, but it's the dresses that steal the show.
