“Transforming Thai Heritage: A New Era of Thai Textiles and Fashion.”
With Local Thai Wisdom + Innovation + Sustainable + Creative + Sense of Thai.
“I am a Thai person with a strong determination to preserve and develop the value of local craftsmanship for the modern era and into the future.”
My goal is to blend my local, traditional Thai wisdom with modern innovation and technology to create textile and fashion collections that reflect the essence of "Cultural and artistic roots" in a contemporary context. My pieces not only express a fun, unique, and beautiful modern style, but also perfectly meet the needs of a modern lifestyle by balancing my Thai identity with sustainability.
My work is driven by the core concept of “Transformation,” which inspires the creation of new and valuable things across four key dimensions:
1. From Waste to Wear:
I breathe new life into fabric scraps from the fashion industry, leftover rolls, damaged fabric, and unused stock. I use a combination of natural, synthetic, and recycled fibers, blending them to create valuable new fabrics. This results in 100% genuine Thai handicrafts that are not only beautiful but also tell a story of conscious and eco-friendly creation.
2. Bridging Tradition and Tomorrow:
I merge the unique stories, values, and techniques of different local communities, including weaving, dyeing, patchwork, embroidery, printing, and weaving inspired by Thai basketry. This creates pieces that are distinct yet harmonious, ensuring that local craftsmanship is not just a thing of the past but a "new life" that grows and flourishes in the modern world and for the future.
3. Traditional with a Twist:
I reinterpret and present precious traditional Thai art forms like mural paintings, architecture, sculpture, and graphics. I create a new style of Thai graphic design that not only retains its authentic Thai charm but also opens a door to new understanding and originality for people around the world today.
4. Empowering the Makers:
I create a space for communities to be part of our production process (Crafts Collaboration). This supports their skill development to become professional artisans. This initiative creates jobs, generates income, and fosters pride in their craftsmanship, leading to a stable and sustainable future for them.
