He has styled fashion shoots for many Thai fashion magazines. His haute headpieces have also been featured at both past Wonderfruit Festivals and will be again at its third edition in Dec. This Khon Kaen native showcases his conversation starting pieces via his personal IG (@erictobua) and work IG (@erictobuastudio) accounts.
