Sretsis takes the spotlight
Life, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 27/03/2014
» For the past 12 years the Sretsis sisters, Kly, Pim and Matina Sukhahuta, have unknowingly changed the face of the Thai fashion industry. Tell them this, and they bashfully giggle it off. But they have. With Pim at the design helm, youngest Matina handling the jewellery and eldest Kly tackling marketing, Sretsis, woven by intimate family ties, fantastical fairy tales and effervescent femininity, has turned many Thai girls’ shapes on to classic womanly silhouettes with subtle twists using crafted, printed fabrics and subtle details that hark back to old glamour. They have given girls a chance to wear their enchanted forest dreams and spiritual adventures on their appliqued sleeves.

Model behaviour
Muse, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 15/02/2014
» Adhering to the stereotype, we sometimes scoff at the idea of having an intellectual conversation with models. But none of the enveloping, mean-spirited adjectives often associated with the high-flying career — shallow, materialistic — can be applied to Cheera Choo, a New York-based Thai model. With sharp cheekbones that could cut through glass and hearts, her exotic beauty definitely makes her a model in every physical sense — she is lanky, poised, with delicate limbs and sculpted, carefully made-up features. But she is also a great conversationalist who is engaging, bright, funny and straightforward. Cheera is reminiscent of every girl’s high school best friend.
All jokes aside
Life, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 13/01/2014
» In the sea of present political madness, the currents are strong and directionless. We find ourselves slowly drowning, grasping for extending hands, awaiting a voice of reason to pull us toward open sky. Surprisingly, that voice comes from a zany online TV programme which somehow finds a sublime balance between lunacy and intelligence.
Beams bursting over Bangkok
Life, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 19/12/2013
» If you are looking for a fast way to pinpoint the quintessential, yet elusive Japanese style, Beams would be a good place to start. The Japanese retail kingpin hasn't stopped since its doors opened in 1976. It has laid groundwork for simple, subtle but highly detailed Japanese craftsmanship and design that have echoed around the globe. Beams men and women look sharp yet casual, outgoing yet mysterious. It's a go-to brand when you want simplicity that speaks louder from the inside-out.
The 'bad boy' of rock art
Life, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 27/11/2013
» It's very easy to see why people are so taken with Chanon Yodhong. As the sole art director for Genie Records under GMM Grammy, Chanon, 32, works closely with the likes of Bodyslam, Big Ass and Cocktail, a few of Thailand's biggest rock bands, and also holds strong personal relationships with these musicians, which pushes him, reluctantly, under the spotlight.
Adventures on the wheels of steel
Muse, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 26/10/2013
» You either love or hate Soraya Allam. One of Thailand's hardest working female deejays acknowledges that fact without qualms. Soraya, better known as DJ Cleo P, is definitely out there. At a superficial glance, she can be viewed as brash, loud and all over the place, but if you take the time to get to know her, it's inevitable you'll fall in love with her wild shenanigans, honesty and lust for life.
'Every day should be special'
Life, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 01/10/2013
» There's definitely something infectious about Hathaithep Theerathada. And, no, this had nothing to do with the fact that our meeting took place in a swanky hospital room where Hathaithep, better known as Suzie, was getting over a dose of flu and a sore throat. Even when in poor health, Suzie radiates a timeless beauty, genuine candor, self-confidence and compassion (she seemed more concerned about my ongoing, seasonal cold than her own ailments).
Falling out of fashion
Life, Onsiri Pravattiyagul, Published on 25/09/2013
» Three weeks ago, former international model Rojjana "Yui" Phetkanha returned to the spotlight, but it was almost as far from a stellar comeback as you could imagine. About 20 years ago she was living a glorious life, supposedly with a 50 million baht career sashaying on catwalks worldwide, gracing the cover of Vogue Singapore and being featured in Chanel perfume print ads.
