Designed by Melissa Horn Lohtong, the new outfits were presented at a recent afternoon show at the Woof Pack Space on Saladang Soi 1.

Celebrities turned out in full for the event and Apinara Srikarnchana, Pimpisa and Pichamon Chomanan, Chanadda Chirathivat, Matunart Sosothikul, Kerika Chotivichit, Ployvarin Songpakorn, , Pitchanart Sakakorn, Nana Rybena, Yardthip Rachapal, Premsinee Rattanasopa and Jiratchaya Sirimongkolnavin were among those spotted in the crowd.

The collection focuses on easy-to-wear pieces that enhance the silhouette while remaining totally feminine. Elegant dresses are enhanced with lace and the velvet jackets are embroidered with a floral pattern in vintage style.

Floral prints and colourful silk embroidery are very much in evidence, adding a sense of delicacy to mini dresses and floral printed tops with ruffles as well as silk chiffon skirts and trousers in basic black and white tones enlivened with splashes of pastel pink and blue. Daisy-shaped pearl earrings, embroidered handbags and wedge-heeled shoes embroidered with pastel silk add to the vintage feel.

Celebrity guest Apinara says she always uses accessories like costume jewellery to create a vintage look, and is particularly fond of an oversized necklace made of pearls and beads. “I still like to rummage through my mother’s stuff today,” she laughed. “Clotheswise, I like floral prints with a hint of the 60s.”

The Marihorn collection is now available at Siam Square One, 2nd level, Zen at Central World. 1 Crystal Boutique, and EmQuartier Shopping Complex,

SEE-THROUGH plastic and short skirts were on display at Burberry last Saturday as the quintessentially British brand gave itself a youthful injection, while Jonathan Anderson offered women a countryside-inspired “sanctuary”.

Under the new stewardship |of Marco Gobbetti – formerly chief executive of French luxury brand Celine – the Burberry Autumn/Winter 2018 collection proved it was possible to expertly combine heritage with a dash of boldness and a hint of fantasy.

The usual audience of celebrities and VIPs – from Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell to Liam Gallagher’s son, Lennon – squeezed into the 18th-century Old Sessions House to watch plastic-clad models strut down the catwalk in an array of colours and shapes.

The plastic, always see-through, came in a variety of colours, from antique yellow to pink and turquoise.

One look comprised a soft-touch plastic anorak worn against the bare skin under a laid-back soft camel leather jacket and accessorised with gold sandals.

Another saw the same supple plastic anorak layered over a heavy-wool tartan skirt.

Flowy bohemian dresses were dwarfed under clashing tartan trench coats in another one.

Bailey used English lace to craft long, sensual skirts, yet also tapped into streetwear with baseball caps – although there was no mistaking Burberry’s emblematic tartan.

Meanwhile, British fashion designer Anderson offered an antidote to what he described as growing “hysteria” with his new collection, giving women a “sanctuary”.

The 33-year-old designer’s creations had a zen-like quality emphasising comfort, though not without elegance and even a bit of impertinence.

Anderson’s shows are among the most closely followed at London Fashion Weeks and the queue outside the door was like a who’s who of British fashion.

“The main idea was to kind of ground everything,” said Anderson, who is also artistic director for the Spanish accessories brand Loewe, owned by LVMH.

He said the designs were intended to show a “stillness” so that “no matter how hysterical things become everything will always have a ground level”.

The collection was “like a sanctuary where it’s calm before the storm,” he said.

“I think we get very hysterical. I think media make us hysterical and I think sometimes you have to go back to basics.”

The designs had a countryside feel to them, with plenty of comfortable dresses going below the knee and practical shoes that looked like walking boots.

The palette also had an earth-like quality with sky blue, pistachio green, dark red and leather colours.

Anderson is a fan of paradoxes: the collection was both modern and classical, wise and bold, mixing vintage corset-like designs with sleeveless t-shirts.

Anderson, the son of former Ireland rugby international Willie Anderson, is also presenting a collection created for the Japanese brand Uniqlo, which launches today in Bangkok.

“I’m obsessed by them. I wear their clothes on a daily basis,” he said.

“So when they approached me it was like it was a no-brainer.”

True to its roots, Versus Versace brought the glamour to London Fashion Week on Sunday, a daring appetiser ahead of the keenly anticipated return of Armani to the British capital.

Versus, the Italian brand’s laid-back line, transformed the city’s Central Saint Martins college, a hub of British design talent, into a temporary nightclub for its 2018 spring/summer collection, with bass-heavy electro music booming from a giant wall of speakers.

The collection celebrated the mini and the transparent, the provocative and the daring, with short dresses in mesh worn over the top of black bikinis and low-waist shorts with printed chain designs.

The label remained faithful to its cherished black, which it embellished with lime green earrings, handbags and belts with geometric and mottled prints of American classic cars.

“Versus is about individuality, bravery and pleasure. This is for everyone who dares to express themselves in everything they do,” said chief designer Donatella Versace.

On a more demure note, Versus presented a range of comfortable trousers, jackets and dresses in grey tartans, enlivened by flashes of bright colours.

The show was also the occasion to present the Gianni Versace scholarship for students of Central Saint Martins.

“It is with great pleasure that we are funding a yearly scholarship at the College as a tribute to my brother Gianni, and in his memory we wanted to nurture the creators of tomorrow,” Versace said.

“Central Saint Martins educates and trains some of the best talents in the world of fashion and many of their alumni have come to work with me over years.”

And then it was time for the main course.

Industry icon Giorgio Armani had not displayed in London for 11 years, an eternity in the world of fashion, ending his hiatus to celebrate the label’s renovated flagship London store in the upscale Mayfair neighbourhood.

The spring-summer 2018 show at Tobacco Dock, a former tobacco warehouse, was marked by light and playful creations including a lightweight windbreaker with printed crab design, small, round-collared dresses, pastel-coloured ensembles and flowing pants.

The label described the “frEAdom” collection as embodying “freedom as lightness of being and eclecticism of appearance”.

The Italian fashion giant, more accustomed to the Milan catwalks, has around 3,000 points of sale worldwide, which the group is trying to consolidate.

Armani, 83, said he had chosen London “for its “dynamism, energy and cosmopolitanism”.

Jonker Street was once renowned for its antique shops and over the years has turned to clothing and crafts outlets as well as restaurants. The best part of the street is the night market on weekends, which sells everything from tasty treats to cheap keepsakes.

Issue presents the identity of the old port and the street through contemporary twists, adding a rock and roll structure to echo a sense of street wear. The typography in 1980’s style enhances the fabric, which is further decorated with intricate embroidery and Issue’s signature prints. The images of the tiger and eagle symbolising man and woman are also employed to represent freedom and courage.

With story-telling, adventure and a sense of wonder at the heart of the collaboration, Cath Kidston’s in-house design team carefully sourced original character illustrations from the classic 1953 animation for the nine prints that make up the collection. The night sky has a starring role in the original movie, so a deep midnight blue features prominently in the collection’s colour palette, scattered with twinkling stars and pixie dust. The timeless prints appear on fashion, bags, homeware items and kids clothing – there’s a piece of Peter Pan for all ages.

Cath Kidston’s signature Button Spot has been given a magical twist with a cameo from Peter Pan’s iconic pixie sidekick, while the sketchy posies and roses and a scattering of stars frame intricate line drawings of Tinker Bell for girlwear, nightwear and homeware.

The collection will be available from Friday (September 25).

Creative director Neil Barrett has been inspired by London’s symmetrical Brutalist architecture and brings its sharp angles and bold forms to a collection of contemporary sartorial staples in metallic greys and black.

For this capsule collection, Blackbarrett focuses on a series of interacting shapes, Angle Applique, combining solid colours and checks of various scales to create a vivid and sharp visual.

Explore the new collection at the EmQuartier shopping complex.

As the representative of Coach from Thailand, Praya was invited to attend the brand’s spring and summer 2018 runway show at Manhattan’s Basketball City venue which was designed to look like a 1970s urban street scene, albeit one covered in glitter.

At Coach House 5^th Avenue, Joshua Schulman, president, and Stuart Vevers, creative director welcomed both Praya and Gomez, the latter looking great in black jeans with a red jacket with embroidered with stars. Praya opted for a sexy but subtle look with a red checked dress layered on top with black chiffon.

The following day, Pray continued to charm Coach’s fans at the fashion showings where Anna Wintour, Vogue’s editor in chief, has a permanent front row seat.

Dressed in a black-and-red dress and carrying Tea Rose Applique bag, Praya rubbed shoulders with Hollywood actress, Emma Roberts, Korean actress Park Shin Hye, Japanese model Hikari Mori, Malaysian star Nur Fazura Sharifuddin, and Yoyo Karl from Singapore.

                The fashion show was recently held at its boutique at Central Chidlom. Canitt is a brand that prides itself on outfits that are dazzling, enigmatic and magnificent. Inspired by Corradini’s works and Bird’s photos capturing women’s graceful gestures, they mould the curves of the body through the use of see-through fabrics that highlight the female silhouettes.

“Our aim is to showcase the seductive charm of women when they wear our outfits. For this collection, we have carefully selected satin fabrics from Italy that best fit the draping technique. The signature print of the season “Modern Marble” has a geometric lining that gives a delicate, yet strong character.

“The Hourglass silhouette, which accentuates a woman’s curves, has been added with a special draping technique. Another highlight fabric in this collection is tulle net embellished with glitter to give a glamorous effect,” says the brand’s creative director Khanidtha Daroonnate.

The colour palette of ivory, ruby red, and amber tangerine is inspired by the mood and tone of Bird’s photographs and complements perfectly the Thai skin tone.

Canitt also has boutiques at Siam Paragon and Parklane Ekamai.

Practical and fashionable touches include variable necks for layering under coats or jackets, trimmer silhouettes, and new seamless technology that virtually eliminates stitching.

Uniqlo is making compact new items available in a range of colours and designs to broaden coordination alternatives. It has augmented such popular basics as black and navy with sage for its vests and jackets, as well as red, green, and other new hues for its coats.

Women’s items incorporate buttons that allow them to quickly switch from crew neck to V-neck collars. The brand has also adopted a deeper neck design for men’s compact vests in response to consumer feedback so the items can be layered under coats.

Uniqlo also employs its proprietary crimping process to the surfaces of stitched areas with the new Seamless Down Parka range. The process minimises the number of seams while enhancing wind-proofing, and the line-up is available in sporty through urban styles and hues.

The Ultra Light Down line has been updated in response to customer feedback while retaining basic features like durability and water resistance. Touches that underscore meticulous attention to detail in the new range include enhancing comfort by lowering the collar heights in women’s vests and jackets to prevent makeup smudges and modifying waist panels for sleeker bodylines.

The charm of womenswear of the 1950s is fused with riveting hues and flowing contours, tastefully rendering an air of mystery, sophistication and cool confidence.

Nicha holds a degree in the fine arts from San Francisco’s Academy of Art University, where she majored in illustration, and has also studied architecture and interior design.

With a profound interest in fashion design and developing bold prints, as well as her experience in designing lingerie for brands such as Sabina, she was engaged in a scarf project that brought to the fore her eyecatching graphics. In due course, Nicha decided to marry her gifts for art and fashion and create a womenswear label. It’s proved to be a sensation among the Bangkok fashion set.

Her autumn-winter collection hints at the confidence of women of the 1950s, a time when clothing became more influential as a representation of femininity.

The audacity and free-spirited attitude of the ’50s are reflected through a striking colour palette and bold prints, all meticulously put together.

There is a refined poise in pencil skirts and form-fitting contours that lend a magnetic appeal. Vibrant hues tastefully enhance the shades and shadows. Period fabrics are softened by flowing silhouettes without losing shape or form. And her grandmother’s iconic bullet brassieres and corsets of the era are mellowed to complement the modesty of modernday women, all the while embracing the undaunted concept of the “We can do it” days.

“While planning this collection, I was reminded that the scheduled launch date would coincide with the sixth anniversary of my beloved grandmother’s passing,” Nicha says. “It made me reflect on her so fondly, especially when I reread her personal diary. The stories she used to tell me returned in a rush of endearing memories, and I decided to name this collection ‘Reminiscence’.

“My Ahma was my role model. Growing up close to her, I always admired her great determination to define her own future. She was such a courageous and inspiring woman, who built everything with her own two hands – and in a time of great gender inequality and before the beginning of the feminist wave.”

The highlight is a range of fabrics ordered from Germany, beautifully woven in three levels. White sequins are discreetly interwoven in the middle to create greater dimension.

Imported Japanese silk is used to create freeflowing silhouettes, all the while reflecting the label’s sexy yet sophisticated appeal.

Jacobs, considered by many the creme-de-la-creme of avant garde American fashion and feted for his showmanship, for a second season running served up a show in near silence on a catwalk stripped of adornment.

His audience sat on utilitarian brown fold-out chairs laid out in an enormous rectangle around the outer perimeter of an otherwise barren space at the Park Avenue Armory, lit only by white spotlights.

The only sound that could be heard was the clunk of models stalking over wooden floorboards until the lush tones of an Italian operatic aria suddenly accompanied the girls on their final parade.

Rising model, 16-year-old Kaia Gerber — daughter of Cindy Crawford and the face of Jacobs’ perfume Daisy — eclipsed the more established Bella and Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner to close the show in a canary yellow beaded evening gown, black gloves and black turban.

His was a conservative if fantastical vision of spring 2018, with barely an ounce of flesh in sight — just a shoulder here, or an arm there. His models all covered their hair with silk turbans that mimicked those of a mid-20th century London cleaning lady, but made stylish by elegant women from the West Indies or conservative Muslims.

His models wore oversized jackets, long gloves and harem pants. A halter-neck pink evening gown was paired with matching pants. Accessories were enormous bags — one made to look like a folded suit carrier — fanny packs on the waist with pom-pom style shrugs.

His shoes were almost uniformly flat — the most modest of heels on pastel-colored leather boots, Japanese-style house shoes worn with ankle black nylons, or extravagantly embellished rubber soled sandals.

The entire collection made sportswear look decadent and exotic — in orange, pink, green and 1970s-style bold psychedelic silk prints, large checked outwear and enormous rainy-anorak style hooded coats.

‘Upsetting’

The 54-year-old designer brought forward the show from his customary Thursday slot to accommodate the pared-down schedule this season, having been last month forced to deny rumors that it was his final show in New York or that he might be leaving a company.

Jacobs told Women’s Wear Daily there was “no truth” to the speculation, calling the rumors “upsetting and stressful” to staff.

The Business of Fashion website reported in July that “sources close to the brand” said Jacobs may step back from his day-to-day design role or leave the business entirely.

In an increasingly challenging marketplace, particularly for retail sales at bricks and mortar stores, parent company LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton confirmed in July that Eric Marechalle, lately of Kenzo, would take over as chief executive officer from Sebastian Suhl.

The Business of Fashion reported that the changes at Marc Jacobs had hit morale in the wider New York fashion industry, where many deeply revere both Jacobs and his eponymous label.

A clutch of top-flight US talent, including Rodarte, Proenza Schouler, Altuzarra and Thom Browne turned their backs on New York this season in favor of what is considered greater sophistication in Paris.

Earlier Wednesday, Michael Kors kicked off the final day by inviting A-list actresses Nicole Kidman and Catherine Zeta-Jones to sit front row, and watch plus-size models powering down the catwalk.

An icon of American womenswear, Kors is said to have finally hit the $1 billion mark in February after flirting with billionaire status since his company of the same name went public in December 2011.

He said his collection was all about ease and the relaxed attitude of sarongs, kimonos and pajamas juxtaposed with oversized menswear tailoring.

US singer Sara Bareilles performed hits such as “(You Make me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” and “Brave” — the latter a mainstay of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 thwarted campaign playlist — in a SoHo loft.

“Manhattan to Malibu… Beverly Hills to Bora Bora,” said Kors, summing up the collection that put the flip flop on the catwalk.

It was the second consecutive time the designer had put a curve model in his runway show, still a relative rarity for the most prominent houses despite the average American women measuring a size 14-16.
