Career edit

In 2000, Panichgul started his fashion career in writing at Harper's Bazaar working as an associate features editor.[6][7] As a fashion writer, Panichgul developed an interest in designing, and eventually pursued formal studies at Parsons School of Design from 2001 to 2003.

Thakoon Panichgul, 2004–present edit

In September 2004, Panichgul produced his first ready-to-wear collection and became recognized by fashion press, editors and stylists, as well as celebrities like Rachel Bilson, Demi Moore, Michelle Obama, and Sarah Jessica Parker. In 2007 he produced a fashion line for The Gap after being singled out by Anna Wintour of Vogue Magazine, as chronicled in the 2009 American documentary film, The September Issue.[8]

Panichgul was a runner-up for the Vogue/CFDA Fashion Fund in 2006, and nominated by the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 2007 for the Swarovski Award for emerging women’s wear designer of the year.[9] His clothing has been worn by U.S. first lady Michelle Obama, who wore a floral dress by Panichgul on the evening her husband, Barack Obama, accepted his party's nomination for president at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.[10]

In 2015, Vivian Chou’s company Bright Fame Fashion acquired a controlling interest in Thakoon Corp. for an undisclosed sum.[11]

Thakoon Addition, 2009–present edit

In 2009, Panichgul launched Thakoon Addition as a capsule component to his runway collection.[12] Addition subsequently had stand-alone presentations at New York Fashion Week.[13] Through a license with Six London, the brand added shoes to the assortment by 2013.[12]

Other activities edit

In 2008, Diego Della Valle signed Panichgul up to create a clothing brand for Hogan.[9][14] In 2009, he ended his two-year contract as the brand's creative director.[15]

Panchigul produced a well-received limited-edition clothing line at Target in early 2009. In 2012, he made a limited-edition series of lacquers for NARS Cosmetics based on the brights from his spring runway.[16]

In September 2019, Panichgul launched a direct-to-consumer line on THAKOON.com.[17] His new start-up site aimed to create comfortable clothing from a luxury designer perspective.[18] Panichgul was also the force behind the creative platform HommeGirls: a magazine and retail site that celebrated menswear and tomboy style and culture among women.[19] It was launched via Instagram in March 2019 with images of menswear-inspired fashion.[20]

Since 2009, Panichgul has been the creative director of jewelry company Tasaki.[21][15]

Personal life edit

Panichgul and creative director Russell Spina have been in a relationship since the early 2000s. The couple lives in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood.[22]
