Kaveewat Tiengthummarut

Thailand

My name is Kaveewat Tiengthimmarut, but you can call me Taifar. I am 20 years old and currently a second-year student at Thammasat University, Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, majoring in Textile and Fashion Design (Pastraporn B.F.A.). For me, fashion is an art form that brings together a variety of skills. I use fashion as a medium to express my artistic vision — to reflect the times and the experiences that shape me. I’m constantly searching for unique forms of beauty, aiming to present perspectives that invite people to see beauty in ways they may have never considered before.

Thai fruit carving

Category: Apparel

Competitions: Thailand

Inspiration : Thai Fruit Carving is the art of decorating fruit by using a knife to carve intricate patterns and designs onto fruits such as watermelon, cantaloupe, papaya, or other firm-fleshed fruits. These carvings may take the form of flowers, animals, or geometric shapes. This form of art is uniquely Thai and showcases the meticulousness, delicacy, and creativity of Thai artisans. It is a cultural heritage that dates back to ancient times, especially within the royal court, where fruit carving was used to decorate food served at important ceremonies. Beyond its visual beauty, fruit carving reflects the Thai cultural value of attention to detail, where even small tasks can be elevated into art. It also embodies the graceful and refined spirit of traditional Thai aesthetics. Concept : Bringing the art of traditional Thai fruit carving into genuine cowhide leather This concept merges the timeless elegance of Thai craftsmanship with the durability and distinct character of genuine leather, presenting Thai artistry to the global stage with grace and sustainability. The designs feature floral motifs inspired by the traditional fruit and vegetable carvings once popular in Thai royal cuisine, intricately cut into the leather surface. The color tones are derived from the natural hues of fruits and vegetables found in traditional Thai meal settings, reflecting the meticulous attention to detail, refined beauty, and deep-rooted cultural heritage of Thailand.
