  Brilliantly Basic

  Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 27/05/2016

  » As depressing as it sounds, basic clothing is like that one underappreciated friend who's constantly got our backs. It may be because, individually, basic pieces are so underwhelming, possibly even unattractive, that we don't worship them like those unique, glamourous friends who may end up screwing us over when the tides change. Basic would never do that though, so this week we recognise the simple items we need in our closet.

  Gym hacks

  Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 09/12/2016

  » Sorry (not sorry) fans of loud and colourful activewear, but trendy athletic wear is going back to the basics of moody tones, sharing aesthetics with practical fashion. To be honest, this has been a long time coming as mass fashion and design have been increasingly keen on cutting down frills. I mean just look at the iPhone 7. Who would have thought a few years ago that the sight of an earphone jack or even earphones themselves could be so unfashionable.

  Graduation checklist

  Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 02/10/2015

  » There's one part of higher education in Thailand we can confidently say is more impressive and challenging than that of any other country -- our graduation ceremonies. It's every Thai parent's dream to see their grown kids suffer through at least two full days -- dress rehearsal and the actual commencement -- of outdoor photo shoots while dressed in elaborate uniforms, plus the gown, props and an inhuman amount of make-up and hairspray. Did I mention that we're in a tropical country where it is pretty much the scorching summer year-round?!

  » This country may have a reputation for indifference, but there have been a few instances in recent memory which we can also be a population of the least chill. Because when it comes to matters of the heart -- our hearts -- we'll waste no time getting to the epicentre of what matters most, demonstrating this incredible and insuppressible passion. This week, we'd like to remember, through photographs, a few major occasions in which our love for something brought us together, physically, in one space.

  IG cute girl

  Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 05/08/2016

  » Whether you'd own up to it or not, being cute on Instagram is everyone's agenda. Oh, stop the denial, stop it. There's no shame in wanting that photo of yourself in a girly off-the-shoulder top and perfectly bouncy hair at the Commons or the House for Sunday brunch. Add in a pensive look and an inspirational quote from @thegoodquote.co in the captions and you're officially a pro at being Instagram cute. But that's getting a bit ahead of the article. Before you set off into the sunset with posing and choosing filters on VSCO, you need the essential outfit. We break down the mainstays of "IG Cute Girl" fashion and introduce four shops where you can find such items.

  Doodling dreams

  Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 19/08/2016

  » In the wake of news about a certain multinational corporation shamelessly stealing intellectual property from independent designers who weren't "big enough" to matter, we were reminded of why it's important to give artists our backing. So, we scoured the streets -- or more so the digital lanes of Facebook and Instagram -- for local imaginations worth following and getting to know. The result is an eclectic pick of illustrators and designers we think could very well be the next Jeepjeep, Wisut or Sundae Kids.
