Thakoon Panichgul Tasaki
Thakoon’s work for Tasaki draws on his extensive design knowledge as well as a deep, almost intuitive understanding of what women truly desire. The Balance, one of his many designs for Tasaki, has become an icon. The Balance collection defies convention by presenting pearls in a totally contemporary and daringly minimalist guise. Tasaki’s team of skilled jewellers expertly crafted symmetry with the soft allure of pearls, the most feminine of all the gems.

Panichgul debuted his first ready-to-wear collection in September 2004 and quickly gained the attention of fashion editors, stylists, and celebrities such as Rachel Bilson, Demi Moore, Michelle Obama, and Sarah Jessica Parker. After being singled out by Anna Wintour of Vogue Magazine, he created a fashion line for The Gap in 2007, as documented in the 2009 American documentary film, The September Issue. Michelle Obama, the first lady of the United States, wore a floral dress by Panichgul on the evening her husband, Barack Obama, accepted the Democratic nomination for president in 2008. In early 2009, he launched a well-received limited-edition clothing line at Target.
The collection of Panichgul has been described as “forward-thinking, historically respectful, and not at all vintage His delicate deconstructions, in fact, are entirely modern, owing more to the Antwerp Six than to Vionnet. Though his collection is ideal for a modern Madame de Pompadour, it would also look great on a Hollywood starlet.”
