For four spectacular days, Bangkok’s most stylish turned up at ICONSIAM’s River Park to celebrate the country’s fashion visionaries at ELLE Fashion Week Thailand. Held from 13 to 16 November, this year’s edition was themed “Life: A Seed of Creativity, The Future of Fashion” to reflect the event’s focus on innovation, diversity and sustainability, with the Chao Phraya River providing a backdrop that underscored the event’s scale and ambition.

The runway programme showcased leading Thai designers and brands such as THEATRE, Hook’s by Prapakas, Silhouette, TANDT, Studio Unknown, Merge, and WISHARAWISH, alongside emerging labels including Everyweek.Outfit, Renim Project, Heidi’s Secret, and Blacksugar. The collections—which spanned womenswear, menswear and gender-fluid designs—highlighted the breadth and evolution of Thailand’s fashion landscape, the fusion of local craftsmanship and global fashion sensibilities, the balance between avant-garde silhouettes and streetwear influences, and refined tailoring and artisanal techniques.

Adding to the energy and excitement was also a strong celebrity presence. Thai actors, musicians, models and digital creators filled the front rows, turning the event into a cultural moment that reached beyond the event’s LED-screened tents. Well-known personalities such as Araya Hargate, Rebecca Armstrong, Mike Angelo, Faye Peraya, and other prominent influencers drew media attention and amplified the collections across social platforms, generating a buzz that reinforced the relationship between fashion, entertainment, and pop culture.
