Just last month, I wrote a trend report about the Spring 2016 runway and right on the list sits Sports Luxe. Now, if you’re still hesitant about what sports luxe is, or if you’re not sure how to dress sports luxe, Chi Chi von Tang’s the brand for you.
Sportswear-inspired? Check. Luxurious? Check. Take a look at their Warrior Bomber that was launched in their inaugural collection and highly raved by many. It’s a modern take on your tracksuit jacket, that comes in contrasting prints and colours. The latest Fall Winter 2016 collection by Chi Chi von Tang is also produced in luxe silk, cupros, highly textured linen and leather.
Chi Chi von Tang is a Singaporean label (yes, you read that right!) designed and created by Lisa Crosswhite, former supermodel and the Founder/CEO of Gnossem.
“Chi Chi von Tang is my fantasy and muse for strong, powerful, street-ready women. Each season will take its inspiration from a new country in Asia. Last season was China, this season was Myanmar. I adore strong characters, and want to create clothing that gives the wearer courage and pride in who they are.” – Lisa Crosswhite

Chi Chi von Tang has just unveiled their new Fall/Winter 2016 collection, inspired by Crosswhite’s travels to the tribes of Myanmar. The collection features strong silhouettes and statement jackets made for the modern street warrior queen. If that sounds like you, you can place your pre-order on selected items through the Gnossem website here.
Crosswhite explored Myanmar with photographers and personal friends, Noelia Madiedo and Jens Uwe Parkitny. The stunning photos from their trip were exhibited in Kilo Lounge.
If you’re thinking whether or not to invest in a piece from this collection, our answer to that would be a resounding YES. A dramatic coat over skinny jeans and a basic top translates chic yet effortless, something that’s simple, yet difficult to perfect.
The Chi Chi von Tang Fall Winter 2016 Collection will be available at their boutique located at Scotts Square #01-11 in August 2016.
