This reflects her deep love for Thai fabrics, which she began wearing while working as a model. She then saw the tailoring and development of Thai fabrics to make them more beautiful and modern, which has led her to fall in love with and enjoy wearing Thai fabrics. She wants to continue and help spread this legacy, so that it will continue to exist. She wants everyone to know that Thai fabrics can still be worn no matter how many eras pass by.
