Pretty in prints
Premium local fashion brand Marihorn looks back to when we dressed up in our mothers’ clothes with an autumn-winter 2017 collection called “Forever Young”.
Designed by Melissa Horn Lohtong, the new outfits were presented at a recent afternoon show at the Woof Pack Space on Saladang Soi 1.
Celebrities turned out in full for the event and Apinara Srikarnchana, Pimpisa and Pichamon Chomanan, Chanadda Chirathivat, Matunart Sosothikul, Kerika Chotivichit, Ployvarin Songpakorn, , Pitchanart Sakakorn, Nana Rybena, Yardthip Rachapal, Premsinee Rattanasopa and Jiratchaya Sirimongkolnavin were among those spotted in the crowd.
The collection focuses on easy-to-wear pieces that enhance the silhouette while remaining totally feminine. Elegant dresses are enhanced with lace and the velvet jackets are embroidered with a floral pattern in vintage style.
Floral prints and colourful silk embroidery are very much in evidence, adding a sense of delicacy to mini dresses and floral printed tops with ruffles as well as silk chiffon skirts and trousers in basic black and white tones enlivened with splashes of pastel pink and blue. Daisy-shaped pearl earrings, embroidered handbags and wedge-heeled shoes embroidered with pastel silk add to the vintage feel.
Celebrity guest Apinara says she always uses accessories like costume jewellery to create a vintage look, and is particularly fond of an oversized necklace made of pearls and beads. “I still like to rummage through my mother’s stuff today,” she laughed. “Clotheswise, I like floral prints with a hint of the 60s.”
The Marihorn collection is now available at Siam Square One, 2nd level, Zen at Central World. 1 Crystal Boutique, and EmQuartier Shopping Complex,
