Thai designer Venice Wanakornkul launched her label, London-based VeniceW, in 2018, bringing the playful, innovative spirit of high-fantasy cosplay to the world of contemporary fashion. Wanakornkul’s experience with forward-thinking brands like Telfar and Eckhaus Latta informs VeniceW’s silhouettes—in a similarly unconventional vein, the brand’s pieces seamlessly merge novel and topical design with skillful styling and pattern-making. Sculptural blouses and gauzy dresses with raw accents are crafted using natural fibers like earthy wools and muted Thai hemp, while Bobtail pumps and signature cartoon-eyed Pigeon bags are examples of the label’s zany and tender ethos. With its sci-fi bohemian aesthetic and intuitive design, VeniceW is a wearable form of the avant-garde.
