On the first day of Mercesdes Benz Fashion Week, Richard Chai presented his Fall 2012 Love collection at Lincoln Center. Featuring both mens and womenswear, the self described “clean and crisp” collection had a dapper cohesion, with tweeds, wools and outerwear.
Later in the night, Chai celebrated his collection at an exclusive after-party with EFFEN Vodka at downtown hot spot Red Egg.
