Siam Sytlista

The Satorialist

2011-01-12T17:35:00.003+07:00

When I first stumbled on his blog a couple of years ago, I was soo amazed of his work. His capture of people in fashion or fashion in people, is something that I aspire to do, even with such limited time in my disposal.

Mini Polka Dots and Pink Shoes

2010-08-25T06:15:00.000+07:00

She really look tall in those pink shoes. Her white with mini polka dot print dress is kinda cute too. With her tanned skin, makes her an exotic beauty.

The Necklace

2010-08-21T12:08:00.001+07:00

If you look at her necklace, it's actually made out of some kind of cloth and some gold balls. A lot of ladies here are into costume jewelry, and some looked real and expensive.

Yellow

2010-08-20T23:05:00.001+07:00

Yellow is a difficult color to wear. Either it would make you darker or older, but it depends on how you wear it. Paired a cool skirt like that, her yellow top really stood out.

Nice Hat Lady

2010-08-20T06:19:00.005+07:00

Nice looking hat, don't you think? What she has on is a comfy look and that doesn't disregard style. I think that's a tough balancing act, and if mastered... you can rock any functional and beautiful clothes all at once.

Boys in Shorts

2010-08-19T18:50:00.005+07:00

I couldn't make out of what his style is, but he said it's his London Street look. Definitely different from what other Thai boys are wearing around Siam, and that deserves this update.

Lawyer Chic

2010-08-18T08:48:00.004+07:00

Would you believe she is a licensed lawyer? Yes, you read it right. She can go to court and argue about the law. She is like Miranda of Sex in the City, an example of Lawyer Chic. I would definitely ask her to defend me if ever I get into legal trouble, I am sure she is able sway the judges and jurors with her convincing fashion sense and her LV bag.

Pattern and Pants

2010-08-17T07:51:00.006+07:00

This printed pants is soo insteresting that it stood out from the crowd in Siam Paragon. It was definitely inspired from the Thai silk prints. I took a closer look, and it was well tailored. Maybe with a jacket on, this look would be more fantastic.

Couples @ Siam Square

2010-08-16T07:55:00.006+07:00

Siam Square, where Thai street stylistas congregate on weekends, is also home to Thai teenagers. You get them in different styles, shapes, gender... and you won't miss out on your alternative couples as well. It's not strange to see sweethearts sporting couple shirts, it's kinda sweet.

Whimsy Blue

2010-08-15T11:42:00.004+07:00

This film student wore this whimsical number that got my attention. It would be a cardinal sin to wear colors that would not mixed well with each other, but with her, it all worked. Young and fun, feels like a fashion princess.

Mix-and-Match

2010-08-13T08:58:00.011+07:00

Her red coral necklace really stood out, I had to chase her so I can take this shot. I asked her about her style, she said she is just a mix-and-match type of girl. What she had on that day, worked well around her necklace... good job.

Color Matching

2010-08-13T08:53:00.004+07:00

I have seen this gentleman before, I think one of the malls in the city. He definitely has a clean sense of style. I love that his Zara shoes matches his cuffed pants, vice versa. Are you a color matching type of person? I know I am.

Vintage Bag

2010-08-13T07:42:00.006+07:00

This engineering student hand painted her own shirt... I wish I could do that. She said that her bag is from mom, during her heydays. Vintage clothes are still popular with Thai teens.

Cow and Crocs

2010-08-12T15:08:00.006+07:00

Men in short shorts are sexy. I like his small black bag. He said its made out of cow leather in crocodile pattern, sounds strange... but looks fantastic.

Style Shop: WONDER ANATOMIE

2010-08-11T22:32:00.008+07:00

It was sheer luck that I was able to meet the designer of WONDER ANATOMIE @Siam Square. He was very nice to bring me to his boutique. Designer Chalermkiat Khatikasemlert's brand of fashion, is quite streetsy and with an attitude. For this season, his line is centered on botanical insects and to give it his own twists, the color palette of his clothes are mostly in dark shades.

WONDER ANATOMIE carries both women's and men's line. I see the his clothes being worn by confident Thais who are not afraid to go out the streets with their own fashion statement.

They also carry beautiful accessory pieces that are unique and one-in-a-kind. His leather bags, jackets, and hats are major compliment for his clothes.

There are a lot of young and talented Thai designers all over Bangkok. Each designer's brand have their own unique style, which anybody can appreciate. WONDER ANATOMIE is a unique brand that men and women alike can enjoy wearing.

Trucker Caps

2010-08-09T21:41:00.003+07:00

Trucker caps aren't popular here in BKK. Wearing any form of cap is not a part of the fashion landscape here, except for the stylish fedora. But this young man had his cap on, a nice plaid shirt, cuffed jeans, Hermes bangles, geeky glasses, and his cool shoes. The tats on his ankle, made the final touch. Click photo to see details.

Queen of Rock Chick

2010-08-09T20:35:00.006+07:00

A student from Rangsit University was strolling around in the Gateway@Siam Square. I asked her to pose for me. She told me that her personal style is just to mix and match. She was wearing this netted shirt and a shirt that said "Queen of Rock Chick". You have to love her shoes. Click the photo see the details.

You can find me there, waiting for you.

Style Focus: Designer Chalermkiat Khatikasemlert

2010-08-05T20:54:00.005+07:00

Cutie Thai designer Chalermkiat Khatikasemlert of Wonder Anatomie@Siam Center reluctantly posed for me. He said that he was wearing one of his friend's design but his necklace is his own. Looks cool, right?

You can find his designs at the 3rd floor of Siam Center. More of his fashion soon!

DOKODEMO Wall Display

2010-08-04T10:17:00.008+07:00

If you walk around Siam Square, you see a lot of shops that sells clothes, accessories, shoes and bags; and some of the young designers, mostly unknown or undiscovered, sell their designs there. One Shop/wall display that I found interesting is DOKODEMO. They carry Japanese inspired men's RTW, shoes, and accessories.

I find their clothes fascinating. The pieces looks casual and comfortable for a weekend stroll around the city, a style which I am slowly adopting.

The designer / shopkeeper even posed and mustered his best Japanese impression. DOKODEMO, can be found in a building between soi 2 and 3.

Cuffed Jeans and Pants

2010-08-03T15:58:00.004+07:00

Cuffed jeans and pants are everywhere. Whoever brought this style back is a genius. The Sartorialist blog featured this as his new obsession last year, and I started doing this with my pants, people were staring daggers at me. But now, its like a disease that you can't get rid off.

The Japanese Factor

2010-08-02T20:52:00.008+07:00

Has Japanese street style sensibilities influence Thai street fashion? I would say it is slowly creeping in. Though I would not say entirely, since we all know that Japanese style is uniquely their own. But I wouldn't blame anybody for trying to look and be that part.

Designers like Yoji Yamamoto, Kenzo, Issey Miyaki, Commes Des Garcon, and etc. are a major influence in the bigger world of international fashion. The kind of aesthetics they introduce and reintroduce to different fashion cultures around the world is a phenomenon itself.

So how big of an influence is Nippon Fashion? Well, you should see how many young people wearing CDG Play shirts around BKK. Whether it is the real deal or a cheap imitation, it can’t be denied, it is fashion. Hey, I even want one myself.

To prove a point, I recently purchased this Japanese eyeglasses (prescribed) at Siam Square, which are worn by a lot of young Thais who like the Japanese style.

Geek chic, chai mai?

Project Runway Premiers!

2010-08-02T12:45:00.006+07:00

Thai Fashion lovers, are you watching this show? If you have not heard of Project Runway... you have 7 seasons of catching up to do. Seriously. Project Runway is a US reality TV show of 16 designers competing to get a spot to show their line in NY's Fashion Week and ultimately winning the top prize as America's newest designer.

Season 8 premiered it's first episode last Thursday (July 29, 2010). Sneak a peek on the first episode.

I started following this show since season 3 and I have been hooked ever since. Young and old up-coming designers having the chance to showcase their talents and design in national TV, is such a big opportunity. Thailand should have this kind of reality show, or it already had, I just didn't know it.

Watch Project Runway and the designers at the show's official site.

Special Thanks

2010-08-01T22:03:00.004+07:00

Special thanks to this gorgeous girl from Perfect Combination@Siam Square for taking the time to fix my bag. She also has this unique fashion style... a sexy top, that denim hot pants, and that huge bow on her hair. She made it all work.
