Chromat began in 2010 as an extension of McCharen’s degree in architecture design at [[University of Virginia School of Architecture]]. It was originally a collaboration with fellow architecture student Emily Kappes.<ref>[http://uvamagazine.org/articles/couture_construction] "Couture Construction." University of Virginia Magazine. </ref> Chromat’s structural language is the foundation of each garment: from the simplest bikini to the most complex 3D printed dress.

Chromat is an American fashion label based in New York City. The label was formed by Becca McCharen-Tran in 2010. Drawing from Becca McCharen-Tran's background in architecture and urban design, Chromat focuses on empowering garments for all bodies.

About

[edit]
Becca McCharen-Tran presenting the Chromat Spring-Summer 2018 Serenity Collection at New York Fashion Week

Chromat began in 2010 as an extension of McCharen-Tran's degree in architecture design at University of Virginia School of Architecture. It was originally a collaboration with fellow architecture student Emily Kappes.[1] Chromat's structural language is the foundation of each garment: from the simplest bikini to the most complex 3D printed dress.

Chromat swimwear, lingerie, and signature architectural cages are all designed in New York City.
