Thakoon Panichgul

Thakoon Panichgul is a New York-based fashion designer and editor who continues to explore gender norms and personal style with his title HommeGirls, which he launched in 2019 after the success of his eponymous brand, THAKOON. His design principles stood then, as they do now, for a fresh look at functional femininity and modernity.

Since 2009, under the title Designer and Artistic Advisor for TASAKI, Thakoon Panichgul has turned his distinctive eye for design to creating three main collections. Balance, his first and most striking collection transforms the pearl, reimagining them with a sculptural tension, Danger, which gives femininity an irreverent twist and Chants. All three simplify and subverts classic codes of beauty. Playing with geometry – spheres, lines, and curves all form part of the designer’s palette, and this collaboration reflects Panichgul’s broader approach to design: Respecting craft while challenging convention.
