How did you get involved in the art scene?
Louis has extensive experience in managing galleries
and private art collections. Moreover, I grew up with
an artist ather, who taught me a lot of about art and
took me to museums all over the world. Naturally I’ve
gravitated towards the art scene in Bangkok and now
being able to help out at Supples Gallery feels like a
full circle moment.

What was your first job?
I initially worked in my family’s denim business before it
closed. After that, I joined Wonderfruit, a music festival
in Thailand, and later worked at a social media agency
in Bangkok, handling F&B and hospitality clients.

How has working at Wonderfruit influenced
your fashion?
Wonderfruit emphasises freedom of expression and
sustainability. It exposed me to many Thai local
designers and homegrown brands, particularly through
the Taste of Wonder boutique section. This experience
taught me the importance of comfort and originality
in fashion.

Who are your biggest fashion influences?
Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City (1998-2004)
Seasons One and Two is a big influence. I also look up
to old-school fashion bloggers like Karla Deras, who
has a fashion line of her own now. My mum is another
major influence; she’s always well-dressed and gives
honest fashion advice.

Describe your style in three words.
Pop of colour.
What are your go-to accessories?
I love gold jewellery, especially gold hoops in various
sizes that pop through my long dark hair. I also enjoy
wearing stacking rings, bangles, and pendants. Gold
feels like my armour, adding a classic touch to any outfit.

Has your style changed over the years?
Yes, I’ve become more comfortable with my style and
now know what I truly like. I tend to sit with trends
for a while before deciding if I like them. I’ve also
incorporated a lot more black into my wardrobe. When
in doubt, wear black!

What are your favourite brands or places to
shop?
For basics, H&M and Zara are my go-tos. I used to
shop a lot of fast fashion, but now I’m more conscious
about what I buy. I love local Thai brands and thrift
shopping. Recently, I’ve been carrying bags from Muse
Aria, and wearing jewellery from Ornn - both brands
started by friends of mine.

What are your big three?
I’m a Scorpio with a Capricorn moon and Gemini rising.
While I find astrology interesting and occasionally read
about it, I wouldn’t call myself an expert. It’s a fun way
to understand personality traits and reactions.
