fashionologie — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 10:38:21 PST

>> Thakoon's nude and pastel-filled Pre-Fall 2012 collection is a window into where he might be going for Fall 2012, he explains, calling the offering "a starting point for fall. We have such a short amount of time between the two collections that we work on them concurrently." Panichgul riffed on classic knits, turning out a cableknit dress and giving a mélange knit coat fuzzy Mongolian lamb pockets.

>> What did the Sunday show backstage scene bring us?

Thakoon Spring 2012

fashionologie — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 09:38:16 PDT

>> In the gilded Plaza Hotel ballroom, Thakoon Panichgul took the season's pervasive super-vibrant color scheme up a notch - “It’s more saturated - spicier - than ever before” - with hues like saffron, turquoise, orchid, marigold, and jade.

“It started with an idea of the American West, of cowboys, but went into a lot of other influences from there,” said Panichgul, who topped the models' spray-painted hair with cowboy hats, incorporated "Indian paisley" all over, and mixed in sari wraps with those cowboy yolk shirts.

Thakoon Addition Resort 2012

fashionologie — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 15:22:13 PDT

>> Beginning with the Resort 2012 season, Thakoon Panichgul is really blowing out his Thakoon Addition diffusion line. Which means: For starters, showing it separately than mainline Thakoon; and secondly, lowering the price point to the upper end of the contemporary market (Panichgul says he plans to continue filling out the collection with lower-priced items.). With the easy cuts and colorful prints, this new iteration of Addition could very well give Marc by Marc a run for its money.

Thakoon Resort 2012

fashionologie — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 13:31:08 PDT

>> Avoiding the so-far pervasive surf trend, Thakoon Panichgul instead went “a little bit gypsy, but taking it to the street” for his Resort 2012 collection. And by that he means, he explained: "I didn't want to do a literal gypsy. I wanted to do something that was a bit sportier, a bit more New York." Thus, folky detailing popped up on pieceworked dresses in mixed cottons, eyelet patchworks, peasant blouses, and in a red-and-white pattern based on traditional Croatian embroidery.
