Audacious & Colorful
“It’s the ideal of the iconic American cowboy gone multi-cultural,” explained Thakoon Panichgul moments before the start of his spring show. “The color story came from India, inspired by the spice market—but with a cowboy flair.” Audacious and colorful prints—and plenty of them—have shown their faces on the runway, and nowhere did they manipulate themselves in more different forms than at Thakoon. Always known for vibrant prints, these seemed particularly vivid against the gilded Plaza Hotel ballroom. Much of it came in the form of a blown-up paisley (in the loose tops) or tiger lily florals (shown on edged jackets and cropped pants)—cast in sunset orange, an explosion of pink and an elegant emerald. Thakoon is no stranger to prints, so this collection, while definitely a bit out there, was still within the designer’s form. Yes, they were pretty—but this time exotic seemed an apropos adjective, too.
