Local know-how
What to know before you go
Art and fashion in Bangkok
Bangkok is where Thai fashion comes together. The city hosts fashion weeks, design shows and trade fairs for fashion, textiles and leather, which bring designers, buyers and students together. Many Thai designers work with traditional fabrics and patterns for an international audience.
Suppliers are close by too. The Creative Economy Agency keeps a materials database at its Thailand Creative and Design Center (TCDC), and the Sampeng and Pahurat area is a long-established district for fabric and sewing supplies. Pratunam is Bangkok's best-known wholesale clothing area. On the art side, the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre is a public hub for exhibitions. If you want to see how an idea moves from fabric to runway to shop, Bangkok lets you follow each step in one city. Your tasks depend on your host company.
