I was working in New York in the early seventies, walked into a club, and heard this. It’s been in my head ever since.

By taking unlikely inspiration from American football and mixing it with Eastern influences, the latest collection by designer Chaichon Savantrat plays masculine sportswear against exotic evening wear.
