Thakoon Panichgul

This past summer, designer Thakoon Panichgul of Thakoon spent weeks seeking inspiration in Thailand. He found much of it in the hand-dyed art of jewel colored ikats, often created by tribes. The vivid, brilliant colors can be seen woven through Thakoon's Spring 2012 collection (above, from T Magazine). The designer is also an advisor to the ministry of commerce in Thailand.
