Flamboyant footprints

» Frills, fluff and drama describe the kind of clothes and accessories home-grown fashion house Theatre makes. A visit to their glass-encased store, located on the third floor of Siam Center, is like a visit to the finest costume department in the land -- it is packed with glittering headpieces, delicate lace blouses, rhinestone embroidered dresses and all sorts of over-the-top numbers that belong on the stage as much as on the fashionable streets.
Thai soldiers' contribution to World War I

» Let's maximize TK Park while it's still around to light our fires and fill our buckets. The idea of it having to shut makes us want to start a war -- and it must be a coincidence that their current exhibition, "14-18", happens to be about one too.
Kafka on our shore

» Franz Kafka in Thailand -- does that sound irrelevant, or is it very timely?
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that bling
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 29/10/2015
» 'More, more, more!" What else could you expect the feistiest hotshot designer of the moment to say, in reference to the bling that goes on the clothes he designs? If Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing could have it all his way, the brand's collaboration collection with H&M would see "really, really high heels", shorter skirts and a lot more golden buttons. But thanks to the balance that H&M insists on, for universal appeal's sake, wearability is ensured, especially for us low-key folk who don't usually make it out alive on the high-fashion horse.
DNA of design

» In January and July, Thai label Busardi was seen on the runways in the world's haute couture capital. It was a story that seemed new to the Western media: a mother and son team from the heart of Southeast Asia -- doing what they loved to do, to their best ability, in Paris. Their trade is, favourably, one that is steeped in a long familial tradition that can be traced back to Yoswadee, a long-standing fashion house that dressed prestigious figures and women in the government during the 50s and 60s.
A thorny collection
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 27/08/2015
» Never amiss with kisses, this autumn/winter collection again sees London accessories house Lulu Guinness sealing all carryalls with a smacker. But autumn seems a good time to ponder about those thorny issues -- namely the darker side of love. The collection is called "Life Is A Bed Of Roses But Beware Of The Thorns" so you can obviously expect roses galore, with a reality-checking dose of thorns in the mix. Their key piece is after all a black clutch with thorns, all set with a gold finish. Open it up and the collection's name stares hard at you from the lining.

Putting the fun into handbags
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 17/07/2015
» There's still some room for colour and a pop of fun before autumn completely kicks in. Lots of houses seem to think so too, with their pre-fall clutches, totes and satchels still rocking hot shades and a little bit of cheek. Grab your cheery fix before all the collections start turning all dark and broody for next season.
