Chakra keeps a low profile; so low, in fact, that I have to admit I wasn’t aware of his name or his long love affair with the red carpet until I was privileged to see one of his shows. The work was impeccable, artistic yet wearable, modern, yet utterly glamorous. At the time, for all I knew, he was a grad fresh out of The New School. But his work was so good, it was impossible to discount, which is why (I’m sure) he didn’t want for clients from the very beginning.
As for what Chakra will discuss, he’s given numerous interviews and soundbites about his work, he politely answers questions relating to his own success, but sticks to the facts without flourish. He says he’s not sure where his inspiration comes from, that his favorite part of showing is receiving feedback and that he loves working with geometric elements. One of the most delightful facts about Chakra is that, unlike other red carpet designer darlings, his clothing stays modern and relevant. He can dress a sweet sixteen or a sweet sixty, from the same collection. See for yourself below.
