Richard Chai

Richard Chai is an American fashion designer.

Richard Chai partnered with design firm Snarkitecture for a new pop-up retail store underneath the Highline at 504 West 24th Street in Manhattan.

The project entitled "Building Fashion"[6] and conceived by BOFFO and Spilios Gianakopoulos[7] aimed to promote collaborations between architecture and fashion.

Snarkitecture's installation[8][9] re-imagined the retail interior as a glacial cavern, hand carved from EPS foam.

The store carried Chai's men's and women's collections and was open for 10 days in October 2010.

Richard Chai receives applause at the conclusion of his Fall/Winter 2010 show at New York Fashion Week , February 2010.
