Dress for summer

» 'It's always going to be summer somewhere in the world," Juliana Affonso Ferreira says optimistically. What the blonde half of the Brazilian fashion brand Isolda means is that there will always be a place and time for those who want to be dressed in her brand's tropic-appropriate, flowery numbers. Along with childhood friend and co-founder Maya Pop, both of whom were in ravishing dresses with exotic flowers, Ferreira was in Bangkok for the first time last week to visit the Isolda corner at the Beige multi-label store in Siam Paragon.
Sneaking up

» While shoes can make or break an outfit, one of the latest weird but convenient developments in fashion has seen super-formal numbers being mixed with uber-casual pieces. Think three-piece suits paired with Yeezy low-rises, or skirts with Converse sneakers. For the sake of comfort and the faddish trend of sports luxe, today's fashionistas can pretty much get away with pairing sneakers with anything.
It's a Triumph!

» This spring/summer, swimwear staple Triumph offers three collections of flowers that suit all different types of whimsies. There are feminine and lush florals painted with a watercolour touch which look just as attractive on bikinis or over-sized scarves which can be used as body-wraps. It's generic and a safe bet for all women, but if you require more detail and depth, the Fiesta collection boasts pieces that employ traditional-looking embroidery of hot-hued flowers that line the neckline of all suits and flowy tops.
Losing (and rediscovering) my religion

» In the recent wake of terrorist atrocities -- most infamously done in the name of religion -- I could not help but question my own line of faith that is Buddhism. Or perhaps "reconnect" would be a better way to put it, as a so-called modern day millennial who isn't a very avid temple-goer.
Petals to metals

» Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking. And we really do mean it, unlike when Miranda Priestly said those very words rather snidely in The Devil Wears Prada.
Strong, strong, strong

» According to Bangkok Fashion Society’s style forecast for this summer, one of the main trends we’ll be seeing a lot of is #strong. Of course, full-option dressers have been opting for striking and peacocking looks since the dawn of time, but no word quite captures the attitude until #strong came along.

Not just a piece of cake

» Have your cake and get to eat it too with Bangkok's latest luxury cake bakers, Sweet Retreat. The British cake decorators behind this enterprise have an amazing ability to create edible works of art -- where sugar-crafted flowers and hand-sculpted models that look a tad too real actually taste pretty good.
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.
