Unique Sashiko Women’s Clothing Designs on Phuket
Each design is unique
Venera Tabakin has run her Sashiko clothes label on Phuket since 2007 through her Mona Shop near Surin Beach and various other stores that stock the designs.
Ms Tabakin is well recognised on Phuket for the flair and modern designs.
Originally from Uzbekistan, Ms Tabakin moved to Russia to study at a top fashion college, spent time as a dressmaker in Turkey and, finally, moved to London College of Fashion.
She now brings her signature style to Phuket, an island full of beautiful women and where fashion shows–particularly to raise funds for charity–are common.
She says to be a good designer you need to be able to draw patterns, cut fabric accurately and understand the process of dressmaking. “When I see fabric, I see in my mind the dress that will match that type of fabric. And when I see a woman, I imagine which style of dress is going to match her look and her figure. Ms Tabakin’s Sashiko designs are each unique.
Thank you for a lovely an article of me.
