Thakoon (Panichgul) Resort 2016
Look no. 12 (Iris-print dress)
(2015-16)
This is, quite simply, a lovely creation fit for the form of a contemporary lady. It embodies every crucial style credential to which many flitting fashions attempt to adhere, but at which they usually fail. Framing the womanly shape (whether of a curvaceous, lean or slim nature) in an easy-on-the-eye, peek-a-boo japonisme-esque screen of irises, this dress dually overlays the seductive with the conservative by way of its smooth contours and pleated light-hearted airy material. It is a piece that may be worn no matter the weather, the occasion or the time of day, with its monochromatic vernacular acting to define it as a garment that undermines any so-called customs dictating which season may or may not call for certain types of clothing, and that instantly veils the body in an edgeless, glowing elegance that even a pair of dulled and dirtied trainers could not detract from. Proudly a piece of the present, this dress is of a quality that not only reigns highly in its current fil, but also in the relentlessly unchanged truth behind true and ageless style.
