» For decades, Thailand has been internationally recognised for the richness of its performing arts traditions -- from classical court forms such as khon to vibrant regional folk practices embedded in everyday life. Yet, paradoxically, choreography as a contemporary artistic discipline has remained structurally under-supported, sustained largely by individual effort rather than by a coherent national vision.

Girls gone bad
Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 18/07/2025
» Remember the popular HBO series Girls from over a decade ago? The show was widely recognised for its postfeminist commentary on female sexuality and millennial angst and it ran for a surprisingly long six seasons. To this day, I still don't really understand the rave reviews. I only watched a few episodes here and there, so I won't pretend to be an expert on it, but what I saw never quite resonated with me.

Life, Tatat Bunnag, Published on 27/06/2025
» With the premise of a dysfunctional family in a small coastal town entangled in criminal dealings under the guise of protecting their legacy, The Waterfront, Netflix's new original series, tries to blend slow-burn crime drama with bursts of action and emotional intensity.

Valentino presents a new vision of luxury
Life, Published on 27/06/2025
» Valentino presents aesthetics through a new lens in Valentino Resort 2026 that redefines luxury with serene elegance. The collection retains the essence of classic luxury while reimagining it in a dreamlike atmosphere. The imagery is bathed in soft pastel tones such as peachy pinks and gentle sky blues, that evoke a sense of calm. The simplicity of the setting draws the eye to the garments where precision tailoring, luxurious materials and artisanal techniques take centre stage once again to now be appreciated in a more relaxed context. This season's pieces explore the structure of tailoring, featuring cinched-waist jackets paired with wide-leg trousers that flow like skirts, as well as evening gowns reimagined with a sense of ease. The result is a contemporary reinterpretation of classic silhouettes that retain the timeless elegance at the heart of the maison.
