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

post a commentI wish you would post my question--I'd love to get Richard's input.
For me, his response contains both expected and unexpected elements - but either way, it provides great insight into his design mentality. Thank you for asking the question for me! :)
Sounds like something Jil Sander would say . . . simple and timeless . . . yet on closer inspection . . .
Richard Chai is hot!
hehe . . . .i agree with above.
hmm . . i wonder if RC is available.
only kidding!!
but i like what he's doing with the layers that he has on.
it looks very light and springy.
very smart . . because if it gets a litte warm. . simply take one off. . get a little chilly . . then put it back on.
Very good portrait and always great comments from all
He's so yummy!
What a combination of talent and looks. Geesh.
Please pardon but, could you provide for those of us who are struggling with it, the correct phonetic pronunciation of his name?
It should be Ch-aye (As in Aye aye, captain!), right?
it is richard chai.
richard chai (chy) (rhymes with shy)
i have seen him on the street before
the next time, i am totally getting the digits
something to think about:
if he did a menswear line...how would you guys imagine it to be? based on what we know that he does for women
now that...is a good question to ask him sartorialist.
i am korean, and his last name should sound more like chu-e(without a pause in between, as one syllable). it's the last name that is commonly spelled 'choi'.
it's great to see some young designers of korean heritage out there, like doori and richard chai, doing great in major fashion scenes. they are inspiration for aspiring fashion designers in korea..
As a fan of his work, no New York designer has a style like his. The cut of his cloths are amazing and the pieces are like couture. I can't wait for his fall collection to hit the stores!! Talk about YUMMY!!!
The long sleeve button-down shirt worn inside the rolled up dress shirt looks almost like how men wore their shirts when they only had union suits.
Mr. Chai, where did you graduate? Parsons?
love his lips..
