Making of a masterpiece
Gaysorn Village hosts an exhibition of unique outfits, accessories and jewellery
Downtown lifestyle mall Gaysorn Village adds excitement to the upcoming holidays by hosting the fashion extravaganza “Gaysorn S/S 2018 The Masterpiece Exhibition” featuring creations by 19 leading brands that pay testament to fine tailoring techniques, rare and priceless materials and the artisanal skills of master craftsmen.
The exhibition, which continues through the end of April, is arranged into four sections and boasts backdrops of beautifully coloured pastel gradients inspired by the paintings of surrealists Salvador Dali and Giorgio de Chirico.
“The Masterpiece of Fashion” zone presents diverse creative approaches to timeless style starting with modern glamour brand Poem, which showcases a classic black dress in the A-line pattern of the 1950s but with a modern slant. Klar Lov presents ‘The Marquise’, long nightgowns inspired by Versailles and the splendid dresses of the royal court in France. Classic brand Tawn C offers a jacquard ball gown from its “Forbidden Love” collection, which was officially launched at Paris Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2018, and Pichita shows off a silk robe-cum-overcoat embroidered in a Chinoiserie pattern with golden thread, pearls, mother of pearl shells and sequins and matches it with light silk satin trousers.
Streetwear brand Matter Makers present its March collection inspired by fashion icon Princess Diana, blending a formal look with ’90s sports style in a knee-length dress. Lonely Two-Legged Creature displays an oversized collage of art jackets that imitate second-hand items from old-world European flea markets with designs mainly in dark tones.
“The Masterpiece of Accessories” shows off leather craftsmanship through a limited edition Mettique handbag, the “Dolph Mini F” made from American alligator skin. Phya presents its “Olivia XS – Simplified Exotic” bag that re-interprets exotic Thai beauty. Rochelle introduces its “Elle” bag made from highly coveted saltwater crocodile belly skin, specially tanned and dyed to preserve the natural skin pattern.
The third zone is devoted to sparkling diamonds and other precious stones. Dubbed “The Masterpiece of Fine Jewellery”, it has Bussarakam’s diamond and topaz pendant and hand-made diamond lace set on gold and platinum mounts. Clear Jewellery proudly presents a precious peacock with diamonds all over its body and adorned with a huge emerald.
Cherish uses selected diamonds and other jewels to craft an exquisite Myanmar ruby bracelet inspired by Thai traditional headwear called Siraporn. Nine Gems presents a platinum gold pendant and brooches meticulously embellished with D colour diamonds, Myanmar rubies, Sri Lankan sapphires and Chinese jade. PT House meanwhile customises a mixed design bracelet and ring connected together like ivy. Tharis offers a modern dimension that combines art, culture, instinct and controversy in the “Butterflies in my Stomach” collection.
Last but not least, “The Masterpiece of Fashion Jewellery” exhibits the latest in jewellery trends. Led by Lotus Arts de Vivre, it presents timeless masterpieces made of scarab wings into a cluster necklace with pearl diamond citrine, a Scarab Parrot handbag with diamonds and rubies, as well as earrings and a ring.
Studio 21 Original Jewellery offers a massive and vivid necklace made of silver, gold and a mix of precious and semi-precious gems. Olivia Diamonds displays its one-of-a-kind oversized necklace with silver floral details enamelled with white topaz.
