Meanwhile on Siam Centre third floor – Siam Centre on Third as it’s known these days  designer Tipayaphong Poosanaphong recently held an event to celebrate his new shop, also named Tipayaphong Poosanaphong, and to present his latest creations for autumn and winter 2011.

The party was well attended by the fans of the brand as well as fashion Alisters.
Tipayaphong, who designed for Ungaro in Paris before returning home to launch his own brand five years ago, presented his couture style creations for ladies and gentlemen. His sharp senses and inspiration are manifested in his collections at the shop, which drew plenty of admiration for its avantgarde look. The gigantic mirrors have been artistically placed, extended, and modified to decorate corners, making the shop seem even more spacious and chic while highlighting the apparel, hats, shoes and accessories.
 

His new winter collection was inspired by a series of portraits by the Israeliborn Berlinbased photographer Lea Golda Holterman, entitled “Orthodox Eros” in which she transforms young Orthodox Jewish boys into mythical characters from old Greek mythology and the Bible.
In the men’s collection, he juxtaposes beautifully austere silhouettes in luxurious fabrics with whimsical period collars and fringes.

The women’s collection combines soft simple silk draping with geometric patterns and clean lines along with plenty of detailed embroidery. A robust colour palette for both collections, primarily red, black and white was chosen to make the collection an absolute beauty.
