Bangkok Street Style 3

Bangkok, the City of Angels, is a hub for diverse fashion scenes. As PdM was strolling through the malls of this capital city, a few locals stood out. Today, I met Mook, a university student focusing on a career in marketing and public relations. Her goal is to one day work with top fashion brands on an international scale.

Mook considers herself a studious and very hard-working individual. However, she doesn't see herself as fashionable. "I am simply expressing who I believe I am to be," Mook commented in Thai. "I am not a slave to fashion, nor am I outside of its influence: I am me."

Mook purchased her handbag and vest at an outdoor market in the countryside. "My family is from the northeast, where it is very poor," Mook mentioned as she looked away briefly. "But even though it is a very impoverished region, we still maintain a sense of style, and it is very affordable."

Mook, needing to catch a taxi to meet some friends, offered us a reverential wai, the traditional Thai greeting, and left with a big smile on her face. Soon after, we met a young man by the name of Bin, who is a student of fashion design. "I am not fashionable, but I love fashion," Bin mentioned quietly. "My look, my style, my concept: I don't even know what that means."

Sporting some very Asian-influenced items, PdM asked Bin where he gets his "look" inspiration. "I don't have a 'look' really, but I like European trends very much." His style, in our opinion, is a fusion between East and West. "Many people tell me I look like I wear Korean-style clothing, but I think I look very Thai."

Both Mook and Bin reflect the Bangkok street style that is quite commonplace in such a diverse global city. Whether one is after a more sophisticated street look like Mook's or a colorful, nouveau homme st, Bangkok is the place to showcase an adventurous new look.
