Bangkok | Kullawit Laosuksri is Vogue Thail and’s first male edi tor-in-chief.

The very first man to ever be at the helm of a Vogue in the magazine’s 120 years. Vogue Thail and’s debut issue completely sold out within several days. He told Thail and’s The Nation newspaper that “Vogue in each country has a very high st andard, but one of the core principles is that it must reflect the women of each country. Paris Vogue is about Parisian chic, American Vogue is American style, British Vogue is punk and rebellious, and Italian and Japanese Vogue have their own styles too. For the Thai edition, we also want to present Thai women’s cheerful attitude and lifestyle. For the first issue we wanted a chada [the traditional tall coronet], which is internationally recognised and has a sophisticated design. We searched the archives of the master of the craft, Chakrabhan Posayakrit, and then asked Phillip Treacy, a world-renowned maker of headdresses, to create a chada we could display on our cover. It’s working with these kinds of foreign connections that also enhances the magazine’s exclusivity and persona.”.
