In a dazzling stride towards redefining luxury retail in the post-pandemic era, Siam Piwat has elevated itself into the stratosphere of opulence. Through the inauguration of flagship stores at Siam Paragon and ICONSIAM, this trailblazer has not just witnessed burgeoning luxury brand sales but has firmly planted Thailand on the global luxury map. Fashion, particularly in the high-end sector, now encompasses a gamut of interpretations, thanks to the infusion of innovation, technology, and a new wave of creativity from budding generations. Yet, amidst this dynamic landscape, the lure of the glittering extravagance remains an irreplaceable fancy for fashionistas, seamlessly blending exceptional quality with an opportunity to showcase their personal flair.

Siam Piwat, a titan in property and retail development, proudly holds eminent names such as Siam Paragon, Siam Center, and Siam Discovery in its grand portfolio. Additionally, as a cornerstone partner of ICONSIAM and Siam Premium Outlet Bangkok, Siam Piwat continues to affirm its dominance as a paramount shopping mecca and luxury powerhouse, most notably through its hosting of the WWD x Siam Piwat Global Fashion Spotlight. Under the splendid theme “Southeast Asia – Luxury’s New Future,” this event cast a glimmering spotlight on the Southeast Asian fashion industry’s emerging global influence.

With Women’s Wear Daily (WWD), an iconic fashion media entity dubbed the “Bible of Fashion,” co-curating the symposium, an eclectic mix of fashion savants, brand ambassadors, and luxury brand magnates unfolded their tales of triumph, strategic metamorphoses, and unwavering community alliances.

Chadatip Chutrakul, the formidable CEO of Siam Piwat Group, eloquently summarized the journey: “For 40 inspiring years, we have championed the metamorphosis of the Thai fashion industry. Our unwavering vision has been to empower Thai brands and designers, arming them with indispensable knowledge and acumen for business elevation. Collaborations with both governmental and private entities, coupled with support from global stalwarts, have forged a knowledge hub pivotal for the evolution of Thai fashion. Our platforms have not only launched scores of Thai names but have amalgamated creativity and innovation from university talents into flourishing enterprises, thus generating colossal economic value and seeding unparalleled industry growth.”

A tapestry of panels unraveled throughout the event, beginning with “Building Brands for Global Consumers.” Wannasiri Kongman of BOYY, South Korean maestro Lie Sang Bong, Shanghai Tang innovator Octo Cheung Yan Yu, and the erudite James Fallon from WWD shared fascinating narratives. BOYY’s trajectory began with captivating displays in NYC, mesmerising fashion insiders sans social media backing. Meanwhile, Lie Sang Bong’s finesse graced Paris’ Fashion Week well before the digital era’s dawn. Octo Cheung Yan Yu championed a harmonious synergy of art and commerce, propelling Shanghai Tang across borders.

The subsequent panel, “Adapting to the New Luxury Landscape,” delved into the shifting sands of generational tastes and new luxury ventures. In focus were the maestros of PP Group, Suwadee Puengboonpra and Orand Puipunthavong, alongside Emmanuelle Koualou of Piaget and Roberta Pellacci of Bvlgari Japan. Here, the dialogue centered on top-tier brands cherishing their heritage, while embracing digital transformation post-COVID, thus refining customer journeys and paving the way for nascent stars in the luxury cosmos. The emphasis was on authenticity and craftsmanship as the youth’s purchasing beacon.

In a digital age burgeoning with potential, brands like Bvlgari and Piaget have astutely harnessed social media’s prowess, partnering with luminaries like Mai Davika Hoorne and Apo Nattawin Wattanagitiphat. These celebrities, with their colossal followings, have exponentially elevated brand engagement.

The crescendo of discussions, the panel “Southeast Asia’s Power of Global Influence,” celebrated regional influencers shaping the world stage. Esteemed figures like Heart Evangelista, Mai Davika, and Apo Nattawin illuminated the discourse. With Mai’s 18 million-strong Instagram fanbase, she credited her followers for amplifying Thailand’s voice in global fashion.

October 2024 promises a resplendent exploration of “Southeast Asia – Luxury’s New Future.” Siam Piwat beckons patrons to bask in the Siam Paragon Bangkok International Week, a Gucci spectacle, and the Bvlgari 140th Anniversary Expo at Siam Paragon. Eager fashion aficionados should keenly watch the vibrant announcements across Siam Center, Siam Discovery, and ICONSIAM’s digital landscapes.
