Ek Thongprasert’s clothing and jewellery redefine Thai art and cultural techniques into conceptual, avant-garde and creative collections. Boasting an element of gender fluidity and agelessness, the designer’s works have long been well-received by the fashion-forward set.

Ek Thongprasert is known among fashion insiders as a designer who creates works that are highly conceptual and avant-garde. A graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, the designer’s clothing and accessories innovatively refashion old handicraft techniques and local materials into contemporary designs for the international market.

Some of Ek Thongprasert’s most enduring pieces include the silicone necklace, while recent clothing collections have been inspired by sacred talismans and tattoos. Although Thai motifs are sometimes present in his work, the brand’s essence also embraces gender fluidity and agelessness — a trend that the designer believes will influence the industry. Beyond the runway, Ek Thongprasert has recently designed bridal jewellery and uniforms with various brands in China.
