Camping cosmos
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 05/11/2021
» T hailand has officially entered the cold season -- well, at least it's cold for those of us who live in the Kingdom. According to the Thai Meteorological Department, the "winter" (quotations as Thai "winter" isn't really winter at all) began on Nov 2 with the coldest days occurring in the latter half of December all the way until the end of January. For city-dwellers, it's predicted that we'll be enjoying the "extreme" minimum temperatures of around 15C to 16C, though we'll believe it when we feel it. However, the cold season signals the perfect time to take a camping trip especially up North where temperatures are expected to go as low as 6C or 7C. Brrrh. So unearth those fur coats and start buying camping gear for a cool road trip. Pun intended. It's time to go camping and Guru's got spots picked out for you.
The queen of prints
Guru, Hong Tholly Sonit, Published on 23/08/2019
» Orla Kiely, an Irish fashion designer based in London, was nicknamed "the Queen of Prints" by The Guardian. Her designs have appeared on a wide range of things from kitchenware, stationery, furniture, wallpaper, dresses and accessories. With a passion for fashion since young, she pursued a bachelor's degree in art in Dublin and moved to London to earn a master's degree. Soon she founded her fashion brand, Kiely Rowan PLC, with husband, Dermott Rowan. She becomes an internationally renowned designer, winning many big awards, including the UK Fashion Export Gold Award. She has exhibited at the Fashion and Textile Museum Exhibition in London while her famous fans include Kate Middleton (the Duchess of Cambridge), Kirsten Dunst and Alexa Chung. After her company ceased trading in late 2018, Kiely is back with a collaboration with Jaspal, Thailand's leading fashion line. Guru speaks to Kiely to find out what makes her the "print queen".
