What are you looking for in particular men or womenswear?

Of course you have to promote the brand you are involved in And it looks really really cool! Definitely interested!

Well I´m only interested in womens wear as my boyfriend also works in the clothing industry so he only wears that brand

But I love avantgarde but "classic" - if that make sense - Ann Demeuleester, Haider Ackermann - can you by the way find Haider Ackermann i Bangkok?, Comme Des Garcons, Rick Owens and such brands. Would be wonderful if I could find a Thai brand who are a little similar in style

[satit28]

im not really sure if its avant garde, but i think its one of the coolest brands around http://www.wwa.co.th/ i find some pieces too much for me but its always fun to see their stuff. If you want to see thai brands i recommend Siam Center its like the thai designers hub. Another brand you shouldnt miss is Greyhound.

Thank you for the tips - so excited getting back to Thailand. Love it!

More Versace-related products in Thailand

THE NATION Published on September 8, 2009


Everest World, local importer and distributor of luxury apparel brand Versace, will launch two new diversified products Versus and Versace Home into the Thai market next year.

The expansion of Versace's portfolio in Thailand is in line with Versace Italy , which recently appointed Gian Giacomo Ferraris as its new chief executive officer to manage Versace business all over the world.


Vorasom Pagtaranigon, brand manager, Everest World, said that the new CEO, which has been effective since the mid of July this year, would take responsibility in supporting the significant change of Versace and to become the leading producer and designer for furniture and lifestyle products.

He want to take focus on creating clear product portfolio for the Versace brand, which will consist of four major products, which are Versace Collection, which is the brand for men's apparels and business uniforms; Versace Mainline, which is the brand for men's and women's apparels for casual, business and party; Versus, which is the brand for young and trendy apparels; and Versace Home, the brand for home furnishing products and porcelains.


Everest World has authorization for importing and distributing Versace brand exclusively.


Vorasom said that the Versace Collection and Versus would be launched locally at prices 15 per cent and 25 per cent cheaper than Versace Mainline products respectively.


"We will next year redecorate our Versace flagship store at Siam Paragon adding the new Furniture Home collections. We will also open our first Versus 'shop-in-shop' outlets at Central Childlom . Versus will be the first Versace's brand opened retail outlet in department store. We will also open Versace Collection at Central Chidlom next year," she added.


Vorasom said that the company planed to open flagship stores for both Versus and Versus Home products in the near future.


"We (Everest World) will comply the business strategy of Versace Italy set to boost a big return of Versace brand all over the world. The market penetration from next year will be more perfect with the support plan from Versace Italy ," she said.


She added that the local launch of Versace's new brands would help extend the new customer base.


"For the 2010 business plan, we prepare the marketing budget for 12 per cent of sales to remind customers for the Versace brand through advertisement campaign and continuous import of new products," said Vorasom.


She said that in Thailand , the Versace's performance in the first four months of this year is unsatisfactory due to political and global economic problems.


However, the company posted double digit growth in the second part of the eight-month period of this year. We also expect our sales this year to increase double digit to between Bt80 million and Bt100 million," said Vorasom. She added that with good sign of economic recovery, the company had seen greater number of shoppers buying Versace, both local people and foreign tourists.

Bangkok attracting fashionistas

Newspaper section: Business

Bangkok is becoming a leading venue attracting global fashion brands, helped by increasing affluence of local consumers and rising foreign tourist arrivals, while the traditional role of regional markets such as Singapore and Hong Kong has diminished.

After the political unrest of the past few years, the capital has witnessed a parade of the world's most popular brands here, be it Zara, Gap, Breshka, Forever 21 Inc and Uniqlo, the world's fourth-largest brand that opened its flagship store on the second floor of CentralWorld today.

Other brands that plan local debuts include H&M of Sweden, Givenchy, Alexander Wang and Lanvin, as the retail business is burgeoning, with the growth rate more than doubling this year.

Fashion brands might also expect even greater purchasing power once the Asean Economic Community takes effect in 2015.

New malls will beckon the newcomers.

"Bangkok has a global market for fashion now the same way it used to be in Singapore and Hong Kong," said Chalit Limmpanavech, a marketing specialist and director of the Thailand Management Association.

Executives at Central Pattana Plc, the operator of Central shopping complexes and The Mall Group, the operator of The Emporium and Siam Paragon, agreed there are long waiting lists of international fashion brands wanting to rent space.

"Thailand has huge market potential because there are so many young people interested in trends. It is a strategically important country in Uniqlo's quest to become the leading apparel brand in Asia," said Tadashi Yanai, CEO of Uniqlo, during his visit to Bangkok yesterday.

Uniqlo plans to open its second branch in CentralPlaza Lardprao in October and a third at Central Rama IX in November, with a fourth early next year. It hopes to have 100 Uniqlo outlets here by 2020.

The CentralWorld branch is 2,750 square metres, its largest in Southeast Asia. It offers 500 items for babies, children and teens created in conjunction with the renowned designer Jil Sander.

Forever 21 Inc, the American fashion brand, just opened its second branch of XXI Forever on the ground floor at CentralPlaza Lardprao.

Sales for Forever 21 grew an average of 25% the past five years and are expected to continue at that level for another five.

"Though there is an economic recession in many parts of the world, the business of Forever 21 was not impacted. Even so, the recession is only a cycle. Our job is to offer affordable products by maintaining low overhead costs and offering a low margin," said Larry Meyer, an executive vice-president of the company.

UNQLO กรุงเทพฯ ใหญ่กว่าร้านที่ฮ่องกง! ถูกกว่าร้านที่ฮ่องกง?

ถูกกว่าแค่ตอนเปิดสาขาใหม่หรือเปล่าครับ หลังจากนั้นก็แพงกว่าฮ่องกง แต่สาขาเซ็นทรัลเวิลด์ใหญ่มากจริงๆ ครับ

Here in Holland, H&M is not know for it's quality but for cheap fasion.
You can use it a few times only, before it breaks or someting.

[TP110]

ถ้า H&M จะมา ก็มาดีๆนะ อย่ามาแล้วแพง อัปเกรดตัวเองเป็นแบรนด์หรู เอาเสื้อผ้าเด็กมาด้วยก็ดีน่ะ

[Meth]

Prada จะมาเปิดใหม่ที่ Siam Paragon บริเวณที่เก่าของ Gucci ครับ


ได้ข่าวมาว่า Louis Vuitton จะมาเปิดด้วย ผมเดินๆ ดู พื้นที่ชั้น M มีหลายที่หลายห้องว่างอยู่ก็จริง แต่มันห้องเล็กมากๆ แค่ห้องเล็ก ซึ่งไม่น่าเป็นไปได้อยู่เเล้วที่ Louis Vuitton จะมาเปิดเเค่เพียงห้องเล็กๆ


เว้นเสียแต่ว่า Loewe กับ YSL ซึ่งย้ายมาอยู่ข้าง Burberry คราวเพื่อปรับปรุงร้านใหม่ย้ายกับไปอยู่ที่เดิมข้างๆ Giorgio Armani แล้ว Louis Vuitton มาเปิดแทนเท่านั้นแหละ

Correct H&M is not a high level brand. Many US teenagers shop at H&M. Nonetheless, it's more options for Thais though.
