What's hot

Expect lots of screaming as five Thai jean brands present their collections on Thursday at 6.30pm at Terminal 21 to launch the “T-Shirt and Jeans Watch and Wash” fair.

Among the models slipping into the tight trousers will be young heartthrob actors Mario Maurer and Prin “Mark” Suparat plus soap star Janie Tienposuwan.

On the catwalk will be jeans from Indigoskin, Vanorn Bangkok, Black Sheep, Artist Denim and Doku.

Each brand is unique. Indigoskin, for example, uses imported denim from Japan and adds swatches of Thai fabric from such brands as Khomapastr and Jim Thompson. Vanorn Bangkok is home-made denim in Thai contemporary style, while Artist Denim is known for its handmade process. Doku’s collection includes the slim-fit “tora style” and the “hiro style” with straight tube legs.

Aiming to promote Thai jean brands, the fair continues until December 10.

Zodiac master strokes
