Inside the big tent
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 06/09/2017
» Now in its 19th year, Elle Fashion Week returned bigger and longer than ever -- spanning five days, from Aug 30 to Sept 3. Bangkok's symbol of fashion -- the big, white tent -- returned to CentralWorld to give its spectators a taste of the season's upcoming looks, featuring 15 shows and 21 designers. From old guard, established names to brand new labels making their debut, this season was a good mix of flamboyance, as well as sleek sophistication.

New looks
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 08/10/2016
» Last month, Fashion Field Trip returned for the sixth year to showcase their autumn/winter collections. Held at Sathon's event hot spot Bangkok CityCity Gallery, this year's shows are not the mega-spectacle they usually are, with at most 150 spectators at each show. Still, shows should always be about the clothes, and it's relevant that Vickteerut, Issue and Asava all thought it was appropriate to scale down and return to their roots. In this digital age, it's easy to drift away from the fact that the purpose of shows has always been for press, buyers and VVVIPs of the brand -- not, you know, everyone who owns a smartphone. There wasn't much legroom, with the gallery's small space and even more limited seats, this year, so here's our recap on the industry's big three this season.

Three's a charm
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 08/09/2016
» One of the most anticipated fashion gatherings of the year is about to be smaller than ever. This year, Fashion Fieldtrip, which features shows by Bangkok's cultishly followed brands, including Asava, Issue and Vickteerut, will be welcoming only 150 spectators. This is a stark difference to the guest list that reached four digits in the past. Whether Fashion Fieldtrip is returning to its roots or is just finding an excuse to downsize in the face of an economic downturn has yet to be seen with how well the shows turn out on Sept 17 at Bangkok City City Gallery. Still, with this relatively new space at Sathon playing host to a handful of highly buzzed and hot exhibitions and events in the past few months, it is in good taste that the three founders of the club decided to hold their fashion/art exhibition inside this popular white box.

Wanna Courtyard and chill?
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 29/07/2016
» It's a full-scale war going out on Thong Lor now, with the recent opening of 72 Courtyard, situated between sois 16 and 18. Those who brave to venture this already-packed road better bring it to Bangkok's glitziest wining and dining high street.

But first, let me take a selfie
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 20/01/2016
» Narcissus, Chanel and lots of gold all make up this multidisciplinary show by Chris Bowden (or Beejoir). Using hand-printed linen, industrial pigmented inks and even real snakes, "#NRCSSM" is the British artist's first major solo exhibition in Thailand after having lived here as an artist and curator for the past 15 years. Much of the inspiration for the show comes from our nation's very own shutterbugs, where vanity in the digital age means easily taking 3,000 selfies -- and seeing nothing wrong with it.

Blue goes pink for charity
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 16/10/2015
» There's only good that can come out of eating for a cause. For the third year, Blue Elephant once again turns on their pink lights that beautifully splashes onto their century-old building on South Sathon to raise awareness for breast cancer. Throughout October, an a la carte "Pink Ribbon Menu" will be on offer, for both lunch and dinner, with proceeds from the menu benefiting Thai women in need at the Queen Sirikit Centre for Breast Cancer (QSCBC).

Living happily ever Active
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 01/04/2014
» If you’re familiar with the brand Virgin, you’ll probably know that this lifestyle, entertainment and travel conglomerate has a tendency to bombard you with flashes of neon and purple lights. The hipness and high-energy is ever present in all fields the empire touches — an airline, music festivals or soft drinks. Their fitness business is no different, as Virgin Active Fitness Club definitely also puts fun back into something that would entice even the worst of gym-phobics. This successful gym operator has more than 270 branches across the world and after its grand opening on Thursday in Bangkok, the city will officially be the second in Asia to house this leading-edge and lively workout destination.
