A journey through used jeans
Life, Pimrapee Thungkasemvathana, Published on 29/04/2015
» 'What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the president drinks Coke, Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the president knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it."

Life, John Clewley, Published on 12/05/2015
» On a business trip to India last week, I had the great fortune to catch several inspirational sets of Portuguese Fado music at the Cidade de Goa resort on the beach in North Goa.

But India's smallest state is lush and green with some impressive trees, and a strong breeze brought relief from the pre-monsoon heat.

A dream to dye for
Muse, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 02/05/2015
» Sisters Wowdow and Raweeras Poocharoen and their friend Pornthip Patiluntakalkool look like they each belong to a different social scene. Wowdow, a 33-year-old softly-spoken interior designer, has a confident, mature personality, while her 26-year-old sister Raweeras is a young and hip artist type. Pornthip, 30, who has known the two for years, is a girly girl with an up-and-at-em character. Cool and composed, Wowdow was born and bred in America, while her artsy sister grew up in Chiang Mai. Pornthip, described by her two friends as a "go getter", was raised in Chantaburi province. Despite their diverse backgrounds, what the trio share is their passion for tie-dyed fabric, and the love for the brand they've built together.

Living in sinh
Life, Napamon Roongwitoo, Published on 30/03/2015
» Traditional Thai attire — sinh skirt, sabai shawl and embroidered patterns — is usually only worn by dignitaries at government functions, elderly ladies at weddings or by waitresses working in Thai restaurants abroad. Otherwise, it is an outdated wardrobe consigned to history and old pictures, far removed from contemporary fashion.
