drawing from becca mccharen’s theoretical background in architecture and urban design,
chromat focuses on structural experiments for the human body.
chromat began in 2008 as an extension of mccharen’s degree in architecture design.
her continued interest in scaffolding, city maps, wearable exoskeletons and the intricacies of undergarments have been explored as each new collection develops.
mccharen was featured in the new york observer 12 to watch in 2012.
the most recent chromat a/w 12 cool world collection was inspired by exaggerated constructions of femininity in cartoons, female superheros and villains and distorted disney characters.
