Anthony Calydon is a self-taught French fashion designer based in Paris. Born in December 1993, he became known for his distinctive approach to garment construction, his sculptural hoods, and a universe inspired by pop culture, cinema, and video games. The singularity of his work lies in his ability to turn popular references into highly constructed pieces that are technical, expressive, and instantly recognizable, with an overlock stitch signature that has become one of his visual hallmarks. Winner of the 2026 ANDAM Pierre Bergé Prize, he is considered one of the most promising emerging talents in French fashion.
Founded in early 2010s, the brand WISHARAWISH became known not long after its creator Wisharawish Akarasantisook won the first prize of Mango Fashion Awards in Barcelona, Spain. Having multiple awards under its founder’s belt, the brand focuses on distinguished craftsmanship from different regions throughout Thailand alongside the contemporary design. Season to season, technique and twist play the main part to challenge the nature of fabric in order to form the geometric silhouette. WISHARAWISH’s wearable art and technical mastery have been continually exhibited worldwide from Hyeres’s Festival International de Mode & de Photographie in France to Bangkok Elle Fashion Week in Thailand to Wallpaper* Magazine’s Handmade Exhibition, which help putting the brand on the fashion map and art scene.
Designer
Wisharawish Akarasantisook
Hailing from the Northeastern province of Buriram, Wisharawish Akarasantisook rises to become one of Thailand’s most promising young designers in early 2010s. Amidst the wave of heavy-budgeted fashion stellars, Wisharawish’s approach to design remains utmost fundamental – more a form of self expression than business, and rather a creative exploration than a career. He contemplates the abstract, and extracts its very essence into the material form through technical experiment, the latter at times becoming the main narrative of his fashion design. Championing technical mastery, immaculate handicrafts and intricate details on pattern, Wisharawish plays with repetition of forms and geometric shapes. His expressive design oeuvre that engages the viewers’ reaction is an aftermath of his background in dramatic arts. Wisharawish’s collections are a dialogue between designer and his clothes, and then between the clothes and their viewers. Fashion becomes a narrative, and a platform for all involved to share their interpretations and understandings.

The thrill of a flea market. A place where it feels like anything might be there. You might come across something you never expected, or you might find nothing at all. Surrounded by folk art of many forms and times, the chaos of the space itself lifts your spirits. KHOKI creates that same thrill through making. Playful and full of humor, yet grounded in reality as clothes that stay close to you for years. Where East and West intertwine, a drifting nostalgia, carrying memory and imagination, connects the past to the present and carries it forward into the momentum of the future. Founded in Tokyo in 2019, KHOKI is created by a collective design team. In 2022, the brand received the TOKYO FASHION AWARD 2023. It was named a semi-finalist for the LVMH Prize 2024 and was selected as one of the “10 Asian Designers to Watch” in 2025.

FREE FABRIC FESTIVAL is a new kind of event where surplus materials from fashion brands are gathered in one place for visitors to take home. It was designed to bridge the gap between the “surplus” held by brands and the “shortage” experienced by students and creators in need of quality fabrics.

During the event, a designer from one of the participating brands is scheduled to be present at the gallery.
