This season sees Thai-British designer, Ong-Oaj Pairam,
debut his first catwalk collection with Fashion Scout.
A BA Fashion Design Graduate from Brighton, Ong-Oaj
developed his professional career working for Proenza Schouler and Roland
Mouret in New York. He returned to London in November 2012 in time to set up
his own label and launch his AW13 collection.
Using bold original printed silks, soft tailoring and
beautifully considered hand embroidered finishing, Ong-Oaj sets out to redefine
luxury in womenswear. Passionate about the quality longevity and finishing of
each garment Ong-Oaj creates effortlessly confident and timeless pieces that
transcend through the seasons.
Ong-Oaj has taken a year zero approach to his SS14
collection, really exploring the brand DNA for the ‘’bold, confident and
creative woman.’’ Following this aesthetic, Ong-Oaj has taken inspiration for
the collection from an extra-ordinary muse - the character of Gertie played by
Drew Barrymore in Steven Spielberg’s E.T. He will be showcasing his collection
at Fashion Scout on Tuesday 17th at 1:30pm.
