The Missile Man
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 28/01/2017
» Pakorn Wongkittikraiwan looks extremely serene for someone who designs jewellery as tough as nails. Looking relaxed in an inconspicuous plain shirt and black trousers, the stoic 30-year-old isn't much of a splashy persona compared to his fashion industry counterparts. Yet, he is the walking soul of Missile, the home-grown, rock-inspired jewellery brand, which celebrates its 12th anniversary this year. At the launch of "Missile 12th Anniversary The Greatest Hits" exhibition earlier this month at Siam Center, Pakorn was introduced as the young blood designer of the brand, despite the fact that his history with Missile began seven years ago.
Rooster up any room
Muse, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 28/01/2017
» Invite all the good and auspicious vibes into your house with decor pieces in the shape of this year's zodiac animal: the rooster. The Chinese believe that the rooster is a symbol of courage, honesty, mercy and loyalty, and in the ancient days, it was also believed to drive away bad spirits. Demons that wreak havoc at night are supposedly gone by morning, thanks to the rooster's crowing. Glam up your living room with some rooster statues, which could possibly direct the winds of wealth into your household (one can dream). If you're on the more practical side, there are also plates, trays, candles and bowls in the shape of a chicken in ceramic or aluminium to choose from, whether you want something elegant or cute. Simply going for the gold shade is another option for those not too keen on the rooster motif. We've spotted some dandy, gold candleholders that add a touch of prosperity, opulence and prestige to any home. Check out these pieces at all Central department stores, where a sale of 30% is also ongoing at the decor section until Feb 5.

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.

» If you've ever fantasised about living the life of your favourite TV/movie character, I will tell you right here and now: don't, because it's hardly as fun as it seems. I have wanted to be Carrie Bradshaw all my life and now that I have morphed into her, thanks to a recent trip to New York City, it's a Sex And The City nightmare -- guy with commitment issues included.

Hottest splurging meccas for fashion?
Life, Parisa Pichitmarn, Published on 24/02/2017
» When shopaholics of the world plan a splurging spree, Kuwait is seldom the first country that comes to mind. It's not the sort of place that registers on the world consciousness, fashion-wise, the way France or Japan does, but this Gulf country, with its population of roughly 4 million, has been home to the hottest names long before Bangkok has -- despite its religious limitations and seemingly sleepy landscape with an even sandier backdrop. While hardly being tourism-amped as a shopping mecca, it does just as well as such much-more-buzzed-about Middle Eastern counterparts as Dubai. So much is the demand for fashion there that two Thai designer brands, Tawn C. and S'uvimol, have set their sights on this lucrative market and celebrate official launches in Kuwait City this season.
