Just a few days ago, the charming and talented Timothée Chalamet made his highly-anticipated return to Saturday Night Live (SNL). As always, he brought his A-game, showcasing his impeccable sense of humour in the Troye Sivan parody skit. And just like the ‘Got Me Started’ music video, Tim was seen wearing the same laser-cut tank as Troye from the Thai brand Vinn Patararin.
Vinn Patararin was founded by two long-time friends, Vinn ‘Champ’ Chokkhatiwat and Patararin ‘Fon’ Pongprasit. The duo met in Paris during grad school, where Champ studied architecture, and Fon was in fashion design. With Champ using the laser cut machine countless times, the couple was curious about the effects of this device on clothing— birthing their signature laser-cut motif. Today, Vinn Patararin is more than just a fashion house. They are a multi-disciplinary design studio producing cool clothing and homeware, as well as art and design installations.

Besides their laser-cut technique, this Thai brand is known for using many vibrant colours. For example, in one of their most well-known collections, they feature laser-cut two-toned pieces. Although it is one item, customers can wear it in two different ways. “I didn’t think colour would be our selling point, but it was another reason that made us more recognisable. It made our technique stand out, too,” explains Champ. With that, here are a few highlight pieces from Vinn Patararin you should check out.

We have to start with one of Vinn Patararin’s most iconic pieces, their two-toned laser-cut shirt. As this item has two different colours, you can show off your style and mood depending on what side you’re wearing. Plus, if you’re going on a trip, this shirt is a must-have. Not only will you have two different looks, but you’ll get to pack light(ish) too.

If you’re looking for a cool mesh top, you have to check this one out. Although this shirt comes in neutral tones as well, the gradient hues just hit the spot. The laser-cut technique combined with the ombre effect just makes this Vinn Patararin piece unique. With Wonderfruit coming up soon, this top would make the cutest fit for both genders.

If you’re looking for a bath robe with that extra oomph, this item is it. You can wear this as a cover up, to business meetings, events, or a casual brunch. We even saw someone wear this at a laser tag game. This particular item is a shirt version, but the brand also sells full robes too.

Despite Paris Hilton’s iconic quote “a skirt should be the size of a belt,” this one is a tiny bit longer. It has the brand’s signature laser-cut motif and comes in 3 different colours: white-brown, pink-blue, or purple-yellow.
