Journey from Jura
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 29/03/2024
» For those in the know, Jura is the emblematic keyword and secret code. It refers to the new Louis Vuitton establishment which just saw its world premiere earlier this month at Gaysorn Amarin.

Refined rawness
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 30/03/2018
» A step into Bangkok's latest fine jewellery flagship store does not involve upholstered chairs, velvet-lined display cases and plush, crystal lighting fixtures. At Patcharavipa, the earth-toned archaeological plaster floor and walls offer your first feel of the brand's organic characteristics, while the space is sparsely dotted with what looks like slick, rectangular blocks of dark concrete that house the jewellery pieces.

Shopping with all your senses
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 30/03/2018
» It feels like there is an Hour Glass store at practically every main street corner in Singapore, but the Hour Glass store that rules them all is situated on Bideford Road, just off Orchard and right next to Paragon. Fashioned under the name Malmaison and having sat at that location since 2011, the opulent enclave of 745m² is largely under the radar to the common pedestrian, despite the fact that what is housed inside could well become your most lush watch-buying experience ever. Even a local tour guide confirms that most Singaporeans are oblivious to the lavish encounter that awaits inside.

Soi Sesame
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 05/10/2017
» Ryan Dillon knows tables around the world intimately. "There's usually a lot of gum," he says from under a table at the Siam Kempinski's business centre. The American muppeteer was sitting on the floor under the table with his arms raised -- a position where he spends most of his time as the performer of Sesame Street's red furball Elmo. Recently in town last month, Dillon and Elmo were out and about in Bangkok to promote the new season of Sesame Street, which airs on MCOT Kids every weekend on 8am.

Sacred text

» "This isn't just a bunch of squiggles fudging it, is it?" my photographer jokingly whispers. His question is legitimate, even if slightly demeaning. You'll be excused for asking that question if you're long-sighted, because to the naked eye, it really does look like a bunch of squiggly lines that add up to create a larger picture.

DNCE the night away
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 15/08/2017
» You'd expect the crowd at DNCE to be younger -- I mean high-school young -- but it wasn't as young as many as expected. It's a school night, after all.

An illustrative fairy tale
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 28/07/2017
» The Starbucks at Wang Burapha is bland and uninteresting, but it was not a lost cause to stop for a chit-chat there, as it was the very place that Phannapast "Yoon" Taychamaythakool had sat down to draw her fanciful and otherworldly animals for Gucci. Phannapast's vibrant illustrations of animals wearing Gucci's cruise collection, which she uploaded on Instagram, caught the attention of Gucci's creative director Alessandro Michele, and that led to her becoming one of the brand's featured artists last year.

The wonder of Oz at Thong Lor Art Space
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 11/08/2016
» Everybody knows about Dorothy Gale and her adventures in Oz, but L. Frank Baum also has a bevy of other characters just as endearing and unique as the little girl who got tornadoed into the magical land away from her home in Kansas. If you've never heard of Tik-Tok before, Thong Lor Art Space offers you the chance to get up real close to what is possibly the world's first robot character portrayed in literature in The Adventures Of Tik-Tok, Man Of Oz this month. The first half will recount the adventures of the Wizard of Oz and Dorothy, before heading towards the land of Ev, where the "mechanical man" who was forgotten in a cave is later found by Dorothy.

Tailored eyewear
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 29/02/2016
» When you sell glasses that don't use a single screw -- that can be sat on, bent and even left under the sun for hours in awkward angles and not break -- the product clearly speaks for itself. In fact, Berlin-based eyewear company Mykita is so refreshingly free from marketing gloss that their spring summer campaign for 2016 simply uses the founder's friend's daughter, his dog and his dog-sitter as models.
