Culture Meets Modern Craft at W Bangkok

On the Runway Culture Meets Modern Craft at W Bangkok

It’s time to take our fashion obsession to the next level with a fashion show outside the normal runway capitals. Thailand’s remarkable history gives way to a modern twist, where top fashion magazine L’Officiel joined W Bangkok for the hotel’s debut runway show featuring Kris Yensudchai‘s city-inspired collection: From Weaving Streets to Today’s Life Crafts.

With The House on Sathorn, a stunning 128-year-old colonial mansion, serving as the perfect historical backdrop, Yensudchai and top celebrity stylist, Art Araya, infused old world charm into modern silhouettes.
