Kohl's to offer limited-edition Thakoon line
Another high-end designer is making a limited edition pit stop at a mass market retailer. This time it's Kohl's, which plans to offer a line from Thakoon Panichgul this fall.
The designer will work on the seventh installment of the retailer’s DesigNation limited-edition collection. Thakoon is a fashion industry favorite and he visited London to inspire the capsule of misses apparel that will be available exclusively at Kohl’s and Kohls.com beginning fall 2015.
“We are excited to bring Thakoon to our customers this fall to enhance our women’s apparel offerings with innovative designs, great quality and great value,” said Nancy Feldman, Kohl's executive vice president of women’s apparel. “DesigNation is built to inspire our customers with designs shaped by some of the world’s most popular destinations, and Thakoon Panichgul is the perfect person to bring London to life as he is known for showcasing distinct, global influences through his collections.”
The Thakoon for DesigNation collection brings Panichgul’s take on a favorite destination, London, where he recently celebrated his brand’s tenth anniversary. He translated his affinity for the city’s character, culture and history to unique prints and patterns for shirts, sweaters, knit tops, dresses and bottoms, all under $200. Based on creative construction and an innate feel for a new sense of femininity in dressing, Thakoon’s concentration revolves around the nuances of classical design, where subtleties take center stage. “I am excited to partner with Kohl’s to share my process of inspiration,” said Thakoon Panichgul.
“The DesigNation collection allows me to explore London, a city I have always loved, and to showcase its style culture through our lens."
