Wisharawish Brought Thai Textiles Worth Gobbling Over at Fashion Week Asia

Thai designer Wisharawish Akarasantisook brought “Salade de Fruits” to Fashion Week Asia 2026, a collection named after the French term for fruit salad. Hand-woven and printed silks. Stripes meet checks. Checks meet chevrons. Chevrons meet local Thai textiles so dense they seem to create a new type of gravity. It all worked well together like a dinner table of old friends reuniting: loud, but never fighting.

The striking patterns featured in the collection showcase five traditional techniques from across Thailand. The patterns that should clash by default somehow blend seamlessly. Soft, flowy pajamas meet suits with sharp silhouettes. This isn’t a designer discovering craft for a season. He has spent fifteen years in Thailand’s textile industry, and it shows in every weave.
