Since his appearance on the fashion scene 4 years ago, American designer Thakoon has quickly become a favorite with celebrities and stylists, whose customers include Rachel Bilson, Demi Moore, and Sarah Jessica Parker. He has become known for sensual, feminine designs that are modern and innovative, which also reflect his Asian roots.
Michelle Obama’s raspberry, lavender and black print Thakoon dress was beamed around the world from the Denver stadium where she joined her husband, Barack Obama on stage at the end of his big speech. Washington Post’s Robin Givan in his September 7, 2008 article “First Ladies and the Fabric of the Nation,” estimated the price of Michelle's Thakoon outfit to be around $1,500.
Thai born Thakoon is a relative newcomer to New York Fashion Week, with his first collection launched onto the fashion scene in 2004. He is known for his ability to combine unusual fabrics and for feminine, modern and quirky simply-shaped outfits with jarring prints and gimmicky flourishes. Thakoon moved to the USA when he was 11 years old. After growing up in Nebraska he graduated from Boston University, and then went on to become a fashion writer. After attending the Parsons School of Design he launched his debut RTW collection in 2004, at the tender age of 29. In 2006 Thakoon earned a CFDA nomination from the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
