HOST: Office of Contemporary Art and Culture, Ministry of Culture
HIGHLIGHT: The “Contemporary Essence” fashion presentation by four leading Thai designers — Palath Palathi, creative director of Realistic Situation; Sirichai Taharanont, creative director of Theatre; Wisharawish Akkarasantisuk, creative director of Wisharawish; and Chai Jiamkittikul, creative director of Chai Gold Label. The four designers used fabrics from the Support Foundation under the royal patronage of HM Queen Sirikit to design and interpret their collections in Thai contemporary styles. Palath used mudmee with a mix of graphic and classic design in earth tones. Sirichai combined Thai traditional pha khao ma with cotton in purple shades. Wisharawish worked with embroidered mudmee in bright colours; while Chai combined mudmee with the diamond-cut concept in the earth tone. Among the celebrities joining the show were Araya Indra, Pattree Bhakdibutr, Ploenchan Vinyaratn, Prinya Ruenprapan, Amata Chittasenee and Sirivongse Sukkasemsin.
