High-tea culture, Austrian duchesses, Kraftwerk, and the films of Wong Kar-wai all figure into the label’s whimsical and anachronistic separates. vibe, Mak’s collections are rife with eclectic, sometimes juxtaposing references. Drawing inspiration equally from childhood trips to Shanghai and British Hong Kong, and today’s easy-going L.A.

We’ve seen the muses, but who is Chelsea Mak? After graduating from Parsons and cutting her teeth at a number of high-profile American brands, the Los Angeles –based designer decided to strike out on her own, launching her namesake label in 2018. Or at least you’ve caught sight of her: making orange juice in a crispy tie-back dress eating pancakes in a breezy deep V-neck blouse or taking a mirror selfie in the label’s viral ruffle-shouldered top. If you’ve spent any time scrolling through Instagram during quarantine-and who hasn’t?-you’re probably acquainted with the Chelsea Mak muse.
