Scroll through the official Miu Miu website and one face stops you mid swipe. You do not need a caption to know it. This is Thai.

Meet Ploy Chobsawang, a 25 year old Thai model living in Sweden, who has just stepped into the spotlight of Miu Miu Prelude 2026, the fashion house’s opening chapter for the year ahead. And no, this is not a one time appearance. Ploy has already walked the runway for Miu Miu Fall Winter 2025 and Spring Summer 2026, building a relationship with one of the most influential fashion houses of our time.

Prelude 2026 is exactly what its name suggests. A beginning. A tone setter. A collection that revisits the idea of uniform and asks what happens when practicality meets play. Think workwear and outerwear softened by colour, ease and irreverent elegance. The silhouettes are relaxed yet deliberate, grounded in function.

Before fashion, Ploy lived an ordinary student life, carrying insecurities about her height. In many cultural contexts, tall women are encouraged to minimise themselves. Ploy chose the opposite. She reframed what once felt uncomfortable into a defining asset, allowing her height to become both strength and signature. Today, her presence is calm yet commanding and, most importantly, grounded in self belief. Her Thainess is not styled away or diluted. It lives in her sharp, expressive face and in the way she stands among others without apology.

What makes her story fascinating is not only success, but representation. Ploy has not yet worked professionally in Thailand’s modelling industry, yet she already stands as a powerful reminder of what Thai women bring to the global stage. International fashion today values individuality, diversity and authenticity, and Ploy fits that shift perfectly.

As Miu Miu Prelude 2026 opens the year with a collection that balances realism with play, function with fantasy, Ploy Chobsawang stands as part of that new beginning. Where her path leads next remains open. More campaigns, more runways, more worlds to step into. What is certain is this: when a Thai woman believes in herself and refuses to shrink, the world pays attention.

And this is only the prelude.
