Clean, lean and everything in between
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 09/10/2015
» As a person who follows the self-sprinkled mantra of I-will-eat-whatever-the-hell-I-want, I have never been one to obsess over what I put into my mouth. If I want a cookie at midnight, with a side of chips, I am going to go stuff my face -- sans any guilt or calorie-counting. My heaven-sent gift of rapid-fire digestion is a side effect of being diagnosed with hyperthyroidism -- something that has unfortunately been slowing down since I have plummeted deeper into adulthood.

For a brighter blue
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 10/06/2015
» It's a downward spiral that the fashion industry is heading towards. As season after season of "the look" cannibalises itself, mounds of unsold clothes result in waste. An overwhelming overproduction of clothes today means only 30% is sold in stores, 30% go on sale and the rest ends up as waste, according to Prof Lucie Huiskens, programme coordinator at ArtEZ Institute of the Arts.

From Amsterdam to Amsterdenim
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 04/06/2015
» Known as the denim Mecca of the world, today heads turn to Japan for the finest and most premium jeans man can produce. Italy runs a pretty close second, being home to some of the best fabric mills, as well as having a long heritage of vintage looks. Mention this textile and America too comes to mind, for being the nation that has globally popularised jeans, ensuring the product transcended its original functional purpose of being worn by labourers in the mines. But for those outside of the denim loop, it is hard to envision how the Netherlands, a country anything but fashion-forward, could be seen as the new centrepoint for denim, both commercial and niche.

The taste of an estate
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 17/10/2014
» One half of the Dilmah brand — Dilhan Fernando — laughs when asked how he feels about his name being used as part of the moniker of his family's single-origin tea. "I suppose we are used to it," adds the youngest son of Dilmah's founder, Merrill J. Fernando. His older brother, Malik, makes up the other half of Dilmah, named from a combination of the first syllables of both names put together. "But it's a big responsibility because when our own name is there, it means we have to make sure the product is good."

Cuties for the cute
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 03/10/2014
» Treat your little misses to adorable bags and accessories that will make them the envy of all the other girls. Local children's brand Sati has been around for four years now, making handmade hair clips, headbands, handbags and other cute paraphernalia that young ladies can fawn over. Every single product comes from meticulous handiwork, but don't worry if the children wear them to the water: they're sturdy and also have a usage guarantee. If anything breaks, all knick knacks can be sent in for repairs. Most importantly, Sati products are free from chemicals, lead and heavy metals, while also passing America's CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008) standard — a law that protects child consumers from goods. The nail polish that has been developed by the Science faculty at Silpakorn University for Sati is also non-toxic and free from chemicals such as formalin and toluene, which smells like paint thinner.

When art comes naturally
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 30/07/2014
» Things worked out perfectly for Yanawit Kunchaethong’s exhibition “Print from Paa Sa-nguan”, which features prints made with colours extracted from forest plants. After all, the 108-rai forest in Petchaburi in which he sourced his materials is owned by his family. Helping him further, knowledge and love for plants and trees have been instilled in Yanawit since he was young by his father, Sa-nguan, and mother, who even visited the forest while she was pregnant with him. His father’s name, in fact, also serves as a pun in the exhibition’s title, referring to both a conserved and the family’s forest.

Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 25/07/2014
» There’s nothing quite like an awesome outfit or accessories to encourage women to go out and do, well, just about anything. Just as tough as exercising, for some, can be finding the motivation to actually start in the first place.
