Celebration on Pluto collection, SAVVY.
The first installment of “ARTCODED: Artist Spotlight” took place in Kamonwan’s homeland of Thailand and starred Miss Universe Thailand 2016, Chalita Suansane. This collaborative effort seamlessly combined local culture with high fashion, showcasing Kamonwan’s surreal interpretation of a celebrated warrior woman.

The initiative exemplified the fusion of Kamonwan’s unique artistic vision with ARTCODED’s exacting production standards. Despite the mentoring and supervision occurring remotely from Los Angeles, the resulting editorial was a stunning testament to the power of international cooperation.
Graduation collection, Chiravut Yulek.
The shoot featured designs from some of Southeast Asia’s most esteemed designers, including the regal creations of FLYNOW, the opulence of SAVVY, and Chiravut Yulek’s innovative collection, which drew inspiration from the imagery of a capsized fishing boat in a desert and utilized gradient dyeing and rope weaving techniques to evoke a seaside mood at sunset.
