Milin’s sister brand Mimi is ready for Spring/Summer 2015
After celebrating her fifth anniversary on the Thai fashion scene, designer Milin Yuvacharuskul, of the brand Milin, has launched a second fashion line under the name Mimi. The new brand focuses on daily wear and goes for a more energetic and younger look. The first spring/summer collection, Fu(el)-Fill, features vivid disco-inspired pieces like print sweatshirts, sleeveless metallic crop tops, denim shorts (very, very short), silver and metallic blue mini-skirts, and leopard lingerie in the same ultra-sexy cuts as Milin. Our pick is the leopard knee-boots that match nicely with the blue cut-out-front skirt-pants.

Mango Mojito launches a ladies’ line
Mango Mojito, the stylish Thai gentleman’s shoe brand, has finally rolled out a women’s line, launching with ballet flats at the TGIF Market last month. The flats come in four varieties: midnight black and knight silver made from sheepskin, and ocean blue and natural pink made from ox-skin. The real highlight is the soft inner lining made from calfskin—super-comfy.

From Instagram to Runway, Sequin & Suede launches its first collection for SS2015 this March
Launched in 2013, Sequin and Suede is wun by Theeranee Musigchai and Tarinee Taruriya-siri who import collections from Korea and sell them via Instagram (IG: Sequinandsuede). After opening its first flagship store at Siam Square One last year, they've now branched out to launch their own specially-designed collection titled Shakespeare Unknown. The collection sticks to boyish styles, like mixing crop tops with oversized blazers and bell-bottom pants, while there are European literary influences in the graphic prints.

The brand, which was established over 10 years, is best known as an online business where it offers worldwide shipping. It specializes in women's streetwear, shoes and cosmetics and is renowned for its pocket-friendly prices--hopefully that's still the case at the swanky new mall.
