Thakoon: Channelling Bohemia  Picture credit: Indigital The Thai-American designer Thakoon Panichgul has previously sent out collections inspired by his background and experiences that are moving and personal. But this summer 2016 collection did not seem to be one of them. My heart sank when I saw the words "New Bohemia". Surely not that hippie trail again? But it was worse than that: it looked like an amateur version of a much-seen theme, starting with bleached denim, moving on to a simple leafy pattern.  Picture credit: Indigital Thakoon has a sleek way with print, especially tie-dye offering surface interest. But there were other, incomprehensible outfits such as a pretty towel that looked like airline pyjamas. Today's retailers and customers are so demanding: Thakoon needs to take a deep breath and decide what he really believes in. (责任编辑：admin) |
