The Bangkok Fashion Week 2006

From the 15^th to 19^th of March 2006, over 30 Thai designers and a select number of international fashion gurus send their latest designs down the catwalk at Bangkok's Fashion Week. Shows take place in The Fashion Dome - a large dome tent set up in the middle of the lake at Benjakitti Park, beside the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre.

The event is scheduled to take place twice a year to coincide with the traditional launch of the spring and autumn collections. Everything from high fashion to textiles, jewellery and accessories are showcased at the accompanying trade fair and designer's showcase held in the convention centre. Thai designers have come out in force in support of the event, including Nagara, Metta, Issue, Grey, Senada, Kloset, Anurak, Zenith, Tube Gallery, Fly Now, Mae Fah Luang, S318 (Kornkanok) AB-Normal and Tango.

The Bangkok Fashion Week was initiated in order to help Bangkok become the regions main fashion hub (and later of course a big player in the International field, too). There are many accompanying events during the fashion week so watch out for good parties all over the city.
