A cover I styled for Wallpaper* Thai edition, January 2010, another cover that I’m happy with. The theme is introducing and ranking all the design schools and colleges in Thailand.
The shoot included a lot of symbols associated with different fields of design: graphic design, interior design, film, architecture, product design, etc.
Looking forward to see the cover on the magazine stands, and I hope everyone will love the January issue.
After having had long hair for 15 years because I didn’t think short hair suited me. I’ve finally had my hair cut short at last. Then I had my picture taken (with my new hair) for 4th Anniversary of Wallpaper* magazine Thai edition, August 09 issue. The theme of the issue was the New Creative Elite: people who can shape the future of this country (Thailand). And it turned out short hair doesn’t look bad at all. The magazine featured people from many different fields, such as artists, art activists, architects, interior designers, fashion designers, etc. My picture was taken for the stylists page along with two other Thai stylists.
The article feature each stylist next to their own model styled in own distinctive style . For me, my interest in fashion started in the early-mid 90s, I am inspired by grunge fashion and the haute couture collections of that decade. I think my inspiration and who am I today comes mainly from the magazine ‘Dutch.’
Dutch was an avant-grade fashion magazine that only produced 40 issues during the 90s, but it left a big impression on me (I still keep and treasure all those old issues). The style of Dutch was all about how cheap grunge and expensive couture can be blended together seamlessly – it’s about ‘dress-down couture’. The magazine really did shape what I am today in term aesthetics and my perception of beauty. The magazine sort out beauty in imperfection: the beauty of the ugliness.
I styled my model with a luxurious red velvet coat from Prada mixed with a self-customised grungy T-shirt, a Chanel gold chain necklace, a hat from a Thai designer, and Dr Martens boots.
The magazine’s out now in Thailand. And man!!! I look like I’ve just turning 20 in the picture. 10 years youger, HOW LOVELY!!!…. ;-))
It’s in an urgent and very tight budget shoot. In fact, We don’t have any money at all to do this shoot for Wallpaper because the picture will publish along with a small article in the magazine.
We did the shoot at the roof of my apartment, prepared all hair and make up in my room. The model, Anna, was very generously to do this shoot. We’re very appreciate for it. Thank you very much Anna :-)).
The picture will publish along with the article I write for Wallpaper. The story is about Japanese designer, from the 80s with legendary designers name such as Rei Kawakubo, Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto to the big name today likes Junya watanabe, Undercover and the latest one Limi Feu (The daughter of Yohji Yamamoto).
We didn’t even have enough money to lend any light equipments but we still did it best as we can. After the shoot, everyone (Apart from Anna) enjoyed my Wiskey collection that I brought from Scotland. This WPP* will out this month and I hope everyone like it.
