The up-and-coming fashion label, Studio Laend Phuengkit, was launched in 2010 by Laend Phuengkit.
Zurich-born Phuengkit is a graduate of the FHNW (Institute for Fashion Design) and is now living in Berlin.

He has already pre-sented his designs at the "Mercedes Benz Fashion Week" in Berlin and was the first Swiss to be nominated a finalist for the "Ramazotti Award". In 2011 he won the renowned "Swiss Design Award".

Laend Phuengkit's aesthetics designs are characterised by the innovatively cre-ative way in which European and Asian patterns and styles fuse together, evok-ing the contrasting lifestyles and philosophies of life. The designer achieves this by incorporating different shapes, patterns and prints into his passion for dra-pery. The unfamiliar slowly unfolds to reveal an exotic seductive power, luring the beholder towards familiarity.

“Miss Lanna”
Studio Laend Phuengkit | Autumn/Winter 2013/2014

The new Autumn/Winter 2013 Collection “Miss Lanna” by Laend Phuengkit transports us back in time to 19th century Thailand’s Kingdom of Lanna. Inspired by the unique and elaborate culture of Lanna, the woven cotton and skilfully draped silhouette creations draw on this historical heritage and give it a new lease of life for 2013. Throughout, Laend Phuengkit remains true to his style - emphasising the unison of contrasting elements as well as the combination of Asian and European flavours.

The new “Miss Lanna” collection is characterised by the sculpting drapery used in the creations. As was once typical in Lanna, Laend Phuengkit uses different techniques to swathe the body in material. Dresses and skirts are artistically wrapped to create a well-defined, light silhouette and to give the wearer a feeling of freedom.

As the reign of King Rama V came to an end (1900), women in Lanna, who were influenced by western fashion trends, began to wear blouses. This combination of western and Asian elements is also reflected in Laend Phuengkit’s creations: traditionally inspired light, woven cottons blended together with urban cuts produce exciting contrasts.
