About

Practice-oriented fashion lecturer with experience and comprehensive skills in fashion design.

Seksarit started his career in fashion education as a lecturer in fashion design at a university in Thailand after graduating Bachelor's Degree in fashion design from the ArtEZ University of the Arts, Arnhem, The Netherlands. In 2014, he completed an MA in Fashion Design Technology Menswear from London College of Fashion and continued teaching fashion design in Thailand.

Seksarit's practice-based research focuses on finding new possibilities in a design methodology that minimizes waste from the clothes-making process through experimental design approaches. It involves an investigation of fabric waste in fashion design practice and a transformation of left-over fabrics into new designs.

Alongside his teaching career, Seksarit ran a menswear collection in Thailand, worked as a freelance designer, and designed capsule collections for clients and labels, including the Japanese label "FMH" and exported Thai brand "Alita Pleats". His professional experience includes working and placement at Ann Demeulemeester, Carol Christian Poell, and Wim Neels.

Unseen Fashion Faces and Figures

Featured 01 October 2024

In response to the exhibition brief calling for artworks that go beyond the current norms and represent people of all shapes and sizes, backgrounds, cultural and ethnic origins, abilities and unique characteristics within a fashion context, my illustrations aim to portray the inclusion of ageing people in fashion. In contrast to the favour of youth in the fashion industry, my artworks show elderly persons with ageing physical changes, such as shorter height and curved spines, wearing youthful runway looks. Addressing the age inclusivity in the illustration can, hopefully, amplify the issue and encourage people to embrace the beauty of ageing bodies.
