Showcase

Student works from the Fashion Design and Industrial Design programs showcase a range of ideas shaped through hands-on exploration and guided practice.
The outfit titled “Genderless”, designed by Thiraphon Tothuanthob, expresses a powerful idea: No one has the right to define your identity, your thoughts, your behavior, or how you express yourself.
Another outfit, named “Sane and Sober” by Thanart Boramanand, delivers a bold message: A sane man in an insane world.
Phanom Chongkol designed the DUCATI showroom, combining the sporty spirit of DUCATI with the charm of a historic riverside building along the Chao Phraya River.
A unique collaboration between alumni Jirawat Tangkijngamwong, founder of DEESAWAT, and Methawee Angthong, founder of BLACK SUGAR. They created a teakwood chair combining DEESAWAT’s craftsmanship with BLACK SUGAR’s bold fashion identity.
