Sirimon \u201cMint\u201d Boonprasit\u2019s journey home, woven through Thai silk, memory, craftsmanship and belonging.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever felt being at a distance from home and found that feeling pulling you into something creative? It might sound strange but there is something in that emotion that turns into expression. In Thai literature, Journey to Muang Klaeng<\/em> by Sunthorn Phu carries that same sense of home seen through distance where memory lingers and never fully fades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That same pull comes to mind when I think of Sirimon \u201cMint\u201d Boonprasit, a fashion designer and founder of her fashion brand, Sirimon. The first time I spoke with her, it felt like a conversation about where ideas begin and what they always reach back to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She created Sirimon as a way of honouring her roots, a letter back to Thailand, where she was born. This is what she wants to represent through her art. It always traces back to her culture, her love for the people she grew up with, her mother and the environment that shaped her early life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
