Thai Silk: a new trend?

Giorgio Armani has expressed interest in using Thai silk in international haute couture. The Italian fashion designer will research the use of this material in order to incorporate it in his designs for fashion and home furnishings.

This was decided during Milan Fashion Week, where Armani met Thai Princess Siriwanwaree Mahidol, whose designs were displayed at a fashion show in Milan last week. Furthermore, Armani and the Thai Industry Minister have agreed to work together to improve the skills of Thai fashion designers. Armani offered internships of six months to a year for young Thai designers, pending the results of design competitions to be held next year.
