This particular style of dress can enhance female figure well, but I find that Versace's version (see picture on the right) is more elegant particularly where the gab near the waste was reduced into a tapered shape and then expand again at hip point. The black strap also suggest more 'unerwear' feel rather than glamour evening dress. I'm no fashion expert but the above dress seems to lack fine sensitivity in some area. |
Here's Thailand trying to promote “ Bangkok Fashion City ” and wanting to become a fashion center of Asia and she was publicly humiliated by her university, her employer, and the media because she was wearing a dress very much like what was designed by Versace.
I somewhat sympathize for her. She was only doing her self promotion just like any other glamour image conscious celebrities out there. She's got a nice figure, and she wants to shows them (isn't that what show-biz is?) Had she been wearing this in say the Oscars, she'll probably be received differently. She should have been a bit more wise that she's still in the university and working in this hypocritical culture where it is okay for tatayoung to dance in her underwear, girls to wear skimpy dress to clubs, and massage-bath-house in HUGE building along the main road, but it isn't ok to wear a sexy dress for public apearance, where there's a press and/or camera.
She is (now WAS, because she was sacked) in a drama business, and this is part of the drama. It gets attention, a lot more than she wanted.
" One of Thailand's leading studios sacked Ms Suriyawong from the cast of Suai Samurai. She sobbed at a press conference where she was forced to apologise. "If I'd known it would have been so controversial, I wouldn't have done it," she said "
"In the meantime, with its preponderance of lady-boy bars catering to tourists, Thailand may be the only country in the world where only men are allowed to wear split skirts and cleavage-revealing tops."
- The independence
Is wearing this dress suggesting sexual act? Please, almost everything in a fashion/show business has some sexual suggestion or at least provoke some sort of sexual fantasy and that's the reason why it is so popular. In fact, the reason people drive to do things in excess of necessity is usually motivated by sex, say, buying fancy dress, fancy car.

I think there are more serious problems in Thailand to deal with rather than punishing this girl because she looks ‘too' sexy. If the society want to promote the image of Thai woman to be more reserved and dress conservatively, then stop with the importing of western pop + fashion +music industry, people wearing bikini, and also kill Bangkok Fashion City concept as well because it contradicts with conservative image. Don't pick on a girl just because she's also a victim of the value we imported and endorse. |
