top 3 designers of Thai fashion industry reveal their feeling and inspiration
in creating the collection - Tirapan Wannarat the owner of the fashion
brand TIRAPAN a reputable 39 years old Thai fashion brand speaks on his
involvement with the fashion show, "The glamour of Thai textiles
is being hand-made and no two patterns are alike from the dying process
to the sentimental of the weaver during weaving. This turns a simple hand-made
cloth into a canvas that contains its own identity. On my costume, I have
chosen to use the Matmi ikat from the SUPPORT foundation as the base fabric
while crafting up artificial butterfly, lacework and beads as decorative
to bring together a compelling note on this very special costume." ........Pichitra Boonyarataphan from PICHITA, another Thai brand that has stood the test of time for 37 years speaks on her involvement with the project, "From my 20 years experience of offering works to her majesty and supporting the SUPPORT foundation, permeated within me is the value of the fabric and embroidery selected in making these costumes. They are of high quality and very valuable. The costume I designed is slick and smart, fitting the quality of the fine fabric that is hand made by the makers. Every production process, dying, weaving and embroidering - they're all very delicate, difficult and time consuming. Every costume is a haute couture by default, the one and only in the world." ........Nagara Sambandaraksa from NAGARA, a brand that has grew in parallel with the Thai fashion scene for the past 34 years, famous of its designs of contemporary Thai silk dress, simple yet special, melting together the essence of Thai and Western to perfection. The brand has long dominated world class catwalks. Every time the brand showcases its exclusive collection with composition of silk, hand painted patterns and delicate embroidery, the crowd is guaranteed to go wild. This auspicious exhibition, particularly, will dazzle fans of NAGARA with beauty that excites and astounds. |
