Do "babas", "Grey ray", "Onelove", "The SLEEVELESS GARDEN" and "Trimode Accessories" ring a bell? If you answered straight-away then you're probably already well-versed in Thailand's fashion industry.

That's right, these brands are home to the Thai fashion industry's leading up-and-coming designers. It's one-hundred-percent genuine Fashion Made in Thailand.

While news of martial law and coup d'etat continue to come out of Thailand, the fashionable Thai people are extremely energetic. At the end of May the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP) held an event in the Siam Center shopping complex located in central Thailand. The event, dubbed "POP FaD by DITP" was thronged with trend-setters, even on weekdays.

Cute clothes, shoes and accessories on the forefront of fashion were available to buy at special prices.

The DITP decided to run the fashion and trading event as a measure to sure up the countries economy, hoping that the fashion industry will blow away recent gloomy clouds and prolonged political unrest. The 52 brands, who mostly target the Thai market, are hoped to advance onto the international stage as quickly as possible.
