» It's all been there done that on the Cannes Lion advertising award circuit for Kantapon Metheekul. The young creative executive has won many awards, been featured in several publications and has illustrated for a handful of high street and luxury fashion brands -- but that's not his true calling.

» They say to buy real French haute couture starts at around a million — something that also applies to Lao haute couture as well. Here, however, it’s more like 1 million kip (4,000 baht) we’re talking about. And that, thankfully, is only about a month’s worth of lunches, as opposed to a lifetime of lunches, dinners, breakfasts and snacks — for the whole village. Much of the Lao fashion scene still operates within the confines of traditional culture and propriety, but nevertheless, it is an industry that recently got its official milestone beginning.
