At Thakoon, it is always a never-ending splurge of colors and flowers as a vision of modern romanticism. For this season round, designer Thakoon Panichgul found his way through the radiant and painterly landscapes of Patagonia. Needless to say, Thakoon’s inspiration was nothing less than an iridescent strip of silk taffeta found in Paris, immediately sparking a vision of a new print, which later became a colorful print concept that was the anchor of his Fall 2014 collection. As a season considered as post-Spring appearance, Thakoon instilled the essence of never-ending spring/summer even in the wintry winters. His models were not only strutting down the runways of New York Fashion Week with Thakoon’s original floral-prints that was anchoring his whole collection, but also in “gym chic” inspired hair-do’s that was slightly drenched in water and matte-lipped make-up, as they walked down to the live recording of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.”

A saturated-fuchsia rose with blurred lines and pixelated edges was his anchor inspiring print that led it to many turtleneck shoulder fitted capelets as well as black ribbed hoodies and embroidered puffer jackets. Thakoon evolved his love of layering into surprises of elements. His cropped capes and funnel-necked scarves may have looked like two pieces when attached to a sleeveless dress or a white button down shirtdress, yet it all had only been a mind trick as it had been all one pieces. Other fleeting pieces were below-the-knee hem-lined skirts, shearling jackets and heeled boots in shocking pink or green wools at the heel that furnished the looks synchronizingly. The color palette was a roaring factor at this show with fuchsia, cobalt and orange mixed with wintery navies, camels and blacks. 

Though it was not as awe-inspiring as his previous collections, the cropped capes and scarves in Technicolor radiance will be an inevitable beacon of street-fashion in the streets of New York this winter. The whole ensemble was feminine and unfussy, a little stroke of difference this upcoming frozen fractiling winter. (Text Nadilla Sari Ratman)
