As I had mentioned in a previous entry, Tawn had the good fortune to be invited by Khun Kai, owner of Thailand’s longest running couture house, to design the Spring/Summer 2012 collection for his streetwear label, K and I.  After nearly a month of frantic work, the 48 looks were presented on Saturday October 7 at Bangkok International Couture Fashion Week, sponsored by Harper’s Bazaar.

Behind the scenes, Tawn adjusts the fit of one of the finale dresses on his model.  A group shot of his models, one of whom used to be the tenant of the second condo we now own.  Below are the 48 looks, roughly in the order in which they appeared on the runway.  The only comment I’ll provide in advance is that Tawn designed the outfits, but collaborated with Khun Kai on the selection of fabrics (Kai does a lot of lace).

Tawn walks down the runway with a model who is wearing his final look, a beautiful lace dress with body suit.  K and I’s mother brand, Kai, is famous for its elegant lace and custom bridal gowns. 

Afterwards, Tawn stopped for interviews with several journalists.  I’m looking forward to the next round of magazines to see what the critics have to say about his collection.  The next step is to translate these designs into actual rack-ready garments.  At the same time, Tawn is finalizing his first collection of his eponymous brand, Tawn C.  The photo shoot is Monday and hopefully those will be ready for production soon, too.

It was less than a year and a half ago when Tawn decided to go part-time with his job in Public Relations and follow his passion, starting with attending fashion design classes.   He has had some amazing breaks and I’m proud, too, of all the hard work he has put into this.  Without a doubt, he has much more passion for this line of work!
