Thakoon Resort 2014

The opposing ideas of “natural and artificial” were the starting points for Thakoon Panichgul’s resort collection.

The opposing ideas of “natural and artificial” were the starting points for Thakoon Panichgul’s resort collection. And there’s nothing more natural than a crisp white shirt, which the designer cleverly riffed on with the perfect poplin shirtdress, a pretty take on a men’s Cuban shirt in point d’esprit and pinstripe silk pants with a shirttail detail at the waist. As for the artificial, it came by giving natural fabrics interesting textures, like woven raffia coated with a gummy treatment on a rounded coat, and a silk gazar shirt with a deconstructed basket-weave motif.


Prints and patterns were geometric yet soft — not at all in-your-face. Even the most graphic look, a nifty trapeze top done in vertical panels of ivory silk and black leather, had a sporty elegance. Rendered in a basic palette of white, ivory, navy and black, Panichgul infused the collection with a freshness and ease that grounded his more conceptual work, such as generous side cuts and layered effects, in a cool reality.
