KAMPOL

A new cover I styled for Wallpaper* Thai edition, January 2010, I very in love and happy with it. The theme is all about introducing and ranking all the design school and colleges in Thailand.. talking about how good and bad they are and who behind it, that shape the Thai design scene.

The shoot including lot of graphic sign elements that associate with design things in different fields; Graphic design, Interior design, Film, Architecture, Product design and so on…

And now it time for me to get busy for February cover of Wallpaper* magazine… so I hope you enjoy this January issue of Wallpaper* Thai edition!

After having long hair for 15 year because I believe that short hair is so not me! Then I’ve finally cut it short at last and took a picture for 4th Anniversary of Wallpaper* magazine Thai edition, August 09 issue : New creative elite. People who can shape the future of this country. And it turn out short hair not bad at all… The magazine featuring people in lot of categories such as artist, art activist, architecture, interior designer, fashion designer and etc. My picture was taken to put in Stylist page along with two other Thai stylist .

At the interview shoot everyone has their own model along with the article. For me, my fashion start about 1990. It all about grunge fashion and haute couture at that time. I think my inspiration and who am I today mostly come from the magazine called ‘Dutch’.

Dutch was an Avant-Grade fashion magazine that only last for 40 issue at the late 90s but it leave a big mark to my heart (I still keep all those old issue as a diamond in my collection). It’s about how cheap grunge and expensive couture meet each other, it is about ‘Dress down couture’. The magazine really shape what I am today interm of my beauty perception. The magazine speak out loud about the beauty of not perfection, the beauty of the uglyness!

I styling my model wearing a gorgeous red velvet coat from Prada mix with customised grunge T-shirt I made myself, also Chanel gold chain necklace and hat from Thai designer and sure Dr.Martens boots.

The magazine out now in Thailand. And man!!! I look like just turning 20 in the picture.. 10 year youger, HOW’S LOVELY!!!…. ;-))

It’s a very last minute and very tight budget shoot indeed. In fact, We doesn’t have any money at all to do this shoot for Wallpaper mag as It just a picture for a small style column 2 pages of the magazine.

We did this at the roof of my apartment building, preparing all hair and make up in my room. The model Anna she is really nice as it is so small budget shoot and she agree to do it, We’re very appreciate for it much, Thank you Anna :-)).

The shoot start from the picture that will link to the article I wrote for Wallpaper about Japanese designer today, from the 80s with legendary designer from Rei Kawakubo, Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto that open the door for us to see what Japanese fashion is all about. Until today with new big name likes Junya watanabe, Undercover and the latest one Limi Feu (The daughter of Yohji Yamamoto).

Even though, It’s very tight budget that we didn’t even have enough money to lend any lighting equipment but we did it with love and very enjoy it much. After the shoot everyone (Apart from Anna) enjoying my Wiskey collection in my room with a good selection of Wiskey I brought from Scotland. This WPP* will out this month and I hope everyone like it. C ya ;-))
