Sweltering words
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 08/04/2016
» With the temperature being what it is and this year's April holidays lining up the way they do, how can anyone be expected to be anything other than mentally checked-out right now -- if not halfway to Japan already. For those of you fighting through the last leg of reality, we've relived our high school English days to write a story of poems about objects integral to surviving Thailand's exceptional weather this time of year. Because that's totally the only thing you want to read right now.

Looking the part
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 01/04/2016
» To get us off our lazy bums in this sweltering weather, race organisers have come up with fun runs where there's more merit placed on how good you look than how fast you run. (Seriously who actually cares who wins these races anyway?) Here are the micro races you should be gearing up for this summer and suggestions of what to wear to them to avoid being boring.
No make-up make-up 2.0
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 25/03/2016
» The most-anticipated event of the season for Thai fashion designers, Elle Elle Men Fashion Week, recently took place at Central Embassy. Guru went backstage to talk about this season's make-up trends with MAC Thailand's Senior Event Artist, Wisut Sueanoo -- as he was applying them to the models for the runway. It doesn't get more exclusive than this.
Hollywood hits home
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 18/03/2016
» Hollywood is a truly fascinating global phenomenon. Just take, for instance, The Oscars. Every year, the whole world, so to speak, actively tunes in to ardently agree or disagree with America's ruling on the best factors of American movies.
In the swim
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 11/03/2016
» To look on the bright side of the perpetuity of Thailand’s “summer”, it’s always a good time to go for a swim. With such constant opportunity to soak in the sun, whether it’s at the rooftop infinity pool of your Bangkok condominium or on the beach of a beautiful Southern island, you don’t want your Instagram to make it seem as if you own only a stingy one or two swimsuits. Even more than that, you should want your swimwear to make a statement. Here are four homegrown swimwear brands with designs that will do just that.
Business is child's play

» Charlie Nagara na Nagara is a 23-year-old strategist at a local ad agency, who also recently returned from Germany with offers to put his children's toy prototype on the market. Guru sits down with the young "Santa" to talk about his unexpected side project, Taksa Toys.
Flower rearrangement
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 04/03/2016
» Floral for spring? How refreshing. Honestly though, have we ever seen a season without it? There's a good reason, however, that flowers -- in fashion, at least -- will never die. They're historic. Go back way before mass-produced Forever 21 tunics, even before floral-print pin-up dresses of the '50s, and think about the most typical pattern on the centuries-old kimono. Or how lace, an invention from the 15th century still popular today, is indeed a needle-point interpretation of blooms.
Please label us
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 26/02/2016
» Multi-label retailers have been popular for a long time in progressive urban cultures such as Los Angeles, Melbourne and Tokyo, so where has Bangkok been? Obsessing over high-rise luxury malls housing tonnes and tonnes of single-label shops. But at last, it seems we are evolving, refining our tastes to prefer low-key, even local splendours. We're also becoming lazier. Wouldn't we all rather visit one cool little store that conveniently brings together the best items from the best labels? You know that's the truth, so here are the one-stop shops in Bangkok you need to know about.
Derek You-lander
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 19/02/2016
» Models. They are more than just bodies that make clothes look like happiness and self-worth. We come to admire models beyond the brands they adorn, seeing them not as nameless trend-wearers, but as the shining trend themselves. Indeed, the most instinctive way to stay current with fashion and style is to follow top models. Yes, walk behind them in the shadows and study their moves, from their editorial posing game to how they eat cheeseburgers. In other words, stalk them on Instagram. And who better to stalk on Instagram right now than the really, really, really ridiculously good-looking inventor of “Blue Steel” and number-one male model in the world? Earth to you, it's Derek Zoolander. Here are seven Zoolander trends from his Instagram that we need to get on top of ASAP!
