The minimal movement
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 31/03/2017
» Minimalists take pride, because this season, whether it's with clothing or accessories, the freshest style items out there are making even the most embellished of fashionistas want to go back to basics. But calling these confidently cut-down designs basic is actually an insult. To arrive at such pleasing and eye-catching sleekness, designers easily spent double the time and effort considering how to say the most with the least. So let's take the time to appreciate a few brands who are leading this hot trend.

» People, it's not even April yet, and the city feels as though it's been chosen as the launch site for the opening of the gates of hell. Stay cool and hydrated. Make this your daily mantra. This, we're serious about. But as you sip your sweet ice coffee under some air-conditioned refuge, we offer you a light-hearted recap of a few funny, exciting or random bits of news that are theoretical and totally scientific explanations of why this country is so ******* hot right now!
Galleries' night!

» Ditch your regular after work plans for gallery hopping this Friday night and weekend. Galleries' Night, an artistic affair that will take up your time between 5pm to late, returns on February 3 and 4. Venues on the Sathon side open their shows first on a Friday night, while those on the Sukhumvit side will wait until the next night to launch their exhibitions. After that you're free to catch anything you missed. However, we're not gonna lie and tell you that you can or should visit, all 50 or so participating galleries over such short period of time. So, here's a manageable list of 10 that we think deserve a little more attention than the others, as you plan your nightly art crawl through Bangkok this weekend.

» There's one food that no one ever needed to learn to love, and that's pizza. The universal appreciation for pizzas means that every once in a while duty calls for us to sacrifice our hard earned bikini bods to try all the new pizzerias in town. So appreciate these findings from our piggish pilgrimage. We've got everything from the highly competitive to harmlessly light-hearted. Enjoy and follow our footsteps, with caution.

» Do you love having your name or initials on things, like a notebook, mug, pen or a pen-pineapple-apple-pen? (Sorry, I just had to.)

We've gathered four brands that were born to fulfill your logophile needs.

» While summer focuses more on the body and skin, fall's the time in fashion where ornaments get the spotlight. So to kickstart fall fashion trends, we've gathered up a few statement pieces that really cut through the clutter of traditional shoe and bag designs.

» Born in New York, Luke Satoru is a Japanese halfie who decided to give his Thai father's homeland a try 10 years ago for better opportunities. Fast-forward to today, Luke is an exhibiting artist, paints murals for hotels like the Shangri La and Rosewood, and owns a cool tattoo studio on Charoen Krung Road called Black Pig where he's the resident inker. We decided to invade his space for a chat about his personal journey from an art student in NYC to an accomplished family man and artist in BKK. It's a story involving rejection, pigs' heads and the Misfits. Read on.
A true renaissance man

» Passionate about the field of design and educated abroad extensively, Kompit Panasupon never thought he'd wind up back in Bangkok, much less become a key player in his father's serious business of academia. MAC Education, which started off as a tutoring school in the 70s, has become one of the biggest textbook publishers in the country and is understandably a big responsibility. We visited the busy 31-year-old (and his two cats) to talk about his work and views on education, but in the process, unlocked surprising facts that reveal that he never really quit being a man of the arts.

» In this day and age, a truly original design is like a unicorn -- idealistic and probably just a fantasy. Admirable creativity today is more so about ingenious reinterpretation, and what clearer example of this is there than fashion's borrowing from world cultures. Besides the flash appearance of Chatuchak rainbow bags in Balenciaga's runway show earlier this spring, fashion seems to be infatuated by another culture this season: Japan's.
