The Thai Dovima
Apichet “Madaew” Atilattana is a resourceful Thai teen who, as the saying goes, has more dash than cash.
The 16-year-old, who goes by ThaiBan Fashionist (Thai Fashionista) on his exploding Instagram, takes self-portraits wearing exquisite outfits homemade from everyday items — flowers, bamboo, mosquito netting, metal roofing, those colorful totes that Vetements sells (starting at $1495).
Madaew’s swanning about in DIY drag recalls the great Dovima. Who’ll be his Avedon?
