as part of #IDFW22 #AIDFW season 2022 (6th JAN 2022) https://aseanfashiondesignersshowcase.wordpress.com/asea.../ and https://thehomeground.asia/.../asean-international.../
Born on 29th October 1986, Pimsiri Nakswasdi is a fashion designer from Bangkok, Thailand and the creator of The Parrot. She did not attain a degree in fashion designing but has studied interior architecture at Chulalongkorn University and management at Harvard University, Massachusetts, USA. After graduation and being in the work force for a few years, she found her true passion in fashion. Later, she founded her own company – The Parrot International Co, Ltd and launched her first collection in 2013.
The Parrot started as an online-based fashion store born in Bangkok. After 3 years, they have expanded from online to storefronts with 7 branches in the main areas of Bangkok, such as Zen at Central World, K Village, Central East Ville, Thonglor, Ekkamai and a branch in Singapore.
Her international approach to fashion is fast, creativeness, flexibility of use, good quality design and enabling a rapid turnaround.
Pimsiri is not only involved with the creative department of her business, she also focuses on other aspects other than accessories and clothes. She also shows a keen interest in the interiors of her shops, advertising and promotion of her label as well as graphic designing. In 2017, Pimsiri was awarded Her World editor's choice award 2017 "Best of Brand in Our Mind". She has also been invited as a guest speaker at Luxellence Center x Bunka on Social Media for Fashion business, Accademia Italiana Thailand on Fashion marketing and The College of Management Mahidol University on Momentum Marketing. Pimsiri believes that inspiration to her does not come from things that exist already around her and she can see
them such as galleries, people, places, museums and so on. Instead, she feels that the ideas and thoughts in one’s mind are what need attention. This is how new things are created. Pimsiri is an esteem member and fashion ambassador of the ASEAN Fashion Designer Showcase representing Thailand.
