Here we observe the Chang in full autumnal plumage — a magnificent eggplant purple knit sweater, its crew neck framing the just-visible collar of a burgundy cotton shirt beneath, a layering technique rarely seen outside the most confident of studio habitats. Note, too, the glint of a silver watch with blue dial and leather strap catching the studio light at the wrist — a subtle but unmistakable display, as if to say: even in a recession, one’s plumage need not suffer.
