THE DESIGNEREK THONGPRASERT IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN EK THONGPRASERT AND PASAMA SANPATCHAYAPONG. THE LABEL PRESENTS A MENSWEAR AND CONTEMPORARY (WOMEN) JEWELRY COLLECTION. ITS IMAGE FOR BOTH MENSWEAR AND ACCESSORIES IS POETIC AND CONCEPTUAL CLASSICAL.
HATSU YUME THE A/W 2010-2011 COLLECTION OF EK THONGPRASERT IS TITLED ‘HATSU YUME’, WHICH MEANS ‘FIRST DREAM’. THE LINE IS INSPIRED BY THE ‘HATSU-YUME’ VIDEO OF THE ARTIST BILL VIOLA AND BY THE DANISH TALE ‘THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL’. BOTH THE VIDEO AND THE FAIRYTALE SHARE THE SAME CONCEPT OF A PROGRESSION TOWARDS AN IDEAL REALITY.
IN THIS COLLECTION THE DESIGNER ALSO REFLECTS UPON THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES WHO HOPE TO BE IN A BETTER PLACE. THESE PEOPLE HAVE TO CUT AND COLLAGE DONATED GARMENTS IN ORDER TO FIT INTO THE CLOTHES.
FOR THIS COLLECTION, EK THONGPRASERT ALSO EXTRACTED DIFFERENT ELEMENTS FROM THE ‘SCANDINAVIAN KNITTED JUMPER’ - WHICH SERVES AS A SYMBOL OF WARM AND IDEAL CLOTHING – AND RE-COLLAGED THESE ITEMS INTO EVERY INDIVIDUAL PIECE OF THE COLLECTION.
