» In case you haven't gotten the memo, this season's trend as seen on catwalks is about piling all kinds of prints and patterns together to create a frenzied, colourful jumble. To put the print-on-print-on-print effect all around you, Ikea's SPRIDD collection is just the thing for your home. In collaboration with fashion designer Kit Neale, the furnishing giant has released a range of tents, lanterns, mugs, bags, poufs and sleeping bags that use the bold patterns the East London brand is known for.

A British step above
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 11/06/2015
» Golden platform heels and see-through box-clutches may have been reinterpreted, redesigned and reproduced by many "impressionists", but it all trickled down from Charlotte Olympia. Recently celebrating their first flagship store in Bangkok, the British luxury and accessories brand boasts a shop that exudes old-world Hollywood glamour, selling the kind of shoes that have people looking at your feet before they look at your face. Currently, there are eight stores across the world, with Thailand's being the second store to open in Asia.

» For the first time ever, heel fanatics will be able to buy themselves a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes for approximately 62 baht. That's a crazy good deal, considering how a pair of shoes from this luxury high-end brand should set you back no less than 20,000 baht. The catch, however, is that all this must be done (and worn) in the Korea-based gaming application Zepeto.

"I was there since the beginning and I loved it," the California-born hotelier recalls. "I didn't seek it, but when I saw it, it encapsulated everything I liked to do so I just stuck with it."

Hearts and friendships
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 04/11/2016
» A Karan Johar film usually offers promises of glamorous locales, impossibly beautiful leads, cameos of his A-list buddies, over-the-top songs and what is supposed to be an atomic bomb of feel-goodism. He doesn't let you down within the departments of the first four, but Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (The Heart Is Complicated) is unlikely to stay with you the way his previous decade-defining works have. It's not as tear-jerking or heartwarming, but still does offer a great soundtrack that will cling to your mind unlike its messy plot. (Try keeping the waterworks in when Channa Mereya comes on. You won't.)

» The sight of a fancy paper bag during this gifting season is a welcomed one -- and all the better if it has a high-end name splashed across it.

Beyond utility
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 26/06/2020
» It was a mixed blessing for Norse Republics when they first added the Swiss premium furniture brand, Vitra, to their roster of high-end, design-savvy furnishings back in February. The global pandemic of Covid-19 meant that the official launch to introduce the brand would have to be postponed, while importing was also met with delays due to hindered cargo transportation. However, there couldn't have been a better time for Vitra to announce itself in Thailand, what with working spaces and workflow drastically changing in these past few months.
