Thakoon
Designer: Thakoon Panichgul

• “The clothes mostly were more serious than silly (Panichgul dresses the first lady sometimes, after all), but, come on, a little gold chain dangling between the beaks of two embroidered birds is certainly a conversation starter.” {The Associated Press}
• “All in all, it was one of Thakoon’s finest hours.” {Daily Front Row}
• “Decadent, elegant, and perfectly seasonal. Thakoon, you can do no wrong.” {FashionEtc}
• “Gentleness pervaded the collection, as well as self-assurance.” {The New York Times}
• “Thakoon Panichgul landed on a bird motif this season. They flew from one cherry blossom branch to another inside a gilt cage. You could look for a metaphor in that print—something about a designer feeling trapped and itching to break free. But sometimes a print is just a print.” {Style.com}
• “Thakoon showed in a bright, spare gallery in Chelsea, not too far from where he used to stage shows. Deliberate or not, it was a symbolic venue for two reasons: One, the clothes felt uplifting and stripped of the tricky stylings of seasons past; and two, it reminded you of the pre-Plaza days.” {Vogue.com}
• “A collection that was sweepingly romantic and deeply affecting.” {Vogue.com UK}
• “Panichgul offered a deft and creative collection that transcended the mundane yet was grounded enough for daily life.” {WWD}
