This month's spotlight goes to Thakoon Panichgul. Born in Thailand raised in Nebraska. Thakoon is a rising star among the fashion industry. Showcasing his first ready to wear collection in 2004 and a former fashion editor at Harpers Bazzar, Thakoon is a talent to recognize. Getting his big break when Anna Wintour herself, suggested Thakoon to do a collaboration with Gap that led into doing collaborations for hogan, nine west for accessories and target. He also had the oppourtunity to dress Michelle Obama. After that people were all of a sudden listening. Thakoon is known for blending different influences into his work, imparting a feminine spirit into a youthful sporty line. At the end his collection always came out with elegance with an underling hint of playful wit. His designs are clean with an eye for detail. His designs are compared with the likes of DVF, Derek Lam and Michael Kors.
Thakoon is my spotlight of the month not only because he's one of my personal favorite designers but, also the way he always seems to push a little bit further with his collections and, how innovated he is. I find him truly inspirational in every aspect.
I've posted up some of his designs dating between 2010-2008. Take the time to click on his link that I have also added to my "style" category and admire his talents.
