It has been fantastic 6 weeks teaching my Summer School (Introduction to Fashion & Textile) here in Oxford @oxfordroyale. Life is much slower but it is equally rich, full of intellectual insights, and I am honoured to be working with such a lovely team. I was also moved by the final project my students designed and made in their final term. I took them to see Fashioned From Nature exhibition @vamuseum and ask: 1) How can we design a more sustainable fashion industry? and 2) How do we learn from the past? All given materials came from our local @oxfamgb. This is part of my upcycling project and it feels good to give back to our community. Oxford, I will miss you and I cannot wait to come back next year. #manruttwongkaew #manrutt #fashiondoctor #fashion #art #design #summerschool #oxfordroyaleacademy #womenswear #womensfashion #london #londonstyle #londonfashion #oxford #oxfam (at Oxford University Museum of Natural History)

"Colour Pathway": Recently I experienced many random but joyful encounters wherever I go. By being myself I have met and spoken to like-minded individuals who see and share the same values. This photo was captured by @gabrielmazza_ during our walk home after being introduced by his boss who I regular met at the Stamford Hill overground station. We can't force a connection, but when we stop looking we will see it right before us. #manruttwongkaew #manrutt #fashiondoctor #creativedirector #fashion #art #style #styling #fashionstylist #personalstyle #menswear #mensfashion #mensstyle #london #londonstyle #londonfashion #connection #colour #print #photography #random (at Shoreditch)

Last Wednesday I helped @dianegoldie putting together a fashion parade as part of the Summer Festival at the old Spitalfield Market. The event hoped to celebrate colours and life of independent artists who live/work in East London. As a colourful person, it doesn't mean that life would always give me rainbows, unicorns and eternal happiness. I, too, experience unwanted thoughts and feeling. And there's a pressure to keep being colourful. This also applies to Diane who lost one of her daughters last year. To embrace this truth, all aspects of colour and complexity of life itself, we subverted the colour parade known as The Colour Walk to a monochromatic march. We celebrated diversity, joy, sadness, sorrow, grief, legacy, memories, all that life can offer. The artwork and texts were developed from Diane's late daughter found in her sketchbook. They are powerful, meaningful and honest. I am proud to have met these people and be part of this celebratory march. 😊🙏 #manruttwongkaew #manrutt #fashiondoctor #creativedirector #fashion #art #style #styling #stylist #fashionstylist #menswear #womenswear #london #londonstyle #londonfashion #diversity #dianegoldie #monochrome #parade #spitalfields (at Old Spitalfields Market)

Bringing my rails of rainbow to facilitate "Discover YOU through fashion & dance" workshop over the weekend as part of the Identity Festival hosted by East London Dance at the Shoreditch Town Hall. We challenge our inner critics with 50 shades of hot pink, larger-than-life prints, and sky-high heels. It's a great honour to hold this space for everybody to explore, to play, and to nurture our experience of dressing up which results into a dance. Thank you all for coming and hopefully will see you all again next year. #manruttwongkaew #manrutt #fashiondoctor #creativedirector #fashion #dance #art #style #styling #stylist #fashionstyling #workshop #identity #festival #eastlondondance #shoreditchtownhall #menswear #womenswear #genderneutral #london #londonstyle #londonfashion (at Shoreditch Town Hall)

Another sneak peak to my Creative Lab workshop @istitutomarangoni @imlondonstudents yesterday bringing fashion and dance to the forefront of artistic collaboration. I notice recent trends in fashion editorial where photographers ask models not to "pose". Oh boy, it was a joy to be working with movements again. Still? Never! #manruttwongkaew #manrutt #fashiondoctor #fashion #dance #art #style #styling #stylist #fashionstyling #creativedirector #photoshoot #menswear #mensstyle #mensfashion #london #londonstyle #londonfashion #istitutomarangoni #creative #lab (at Istituto Marangoni)

A warm reception from our CEO @roberto_riccio_milano @istitutomarangoni as he came to visit our London school for the 15th Anniversary Press Conference this morning. A great speech follows by an insightful panel discussion. It's raining outside so let's bring the sunshine in. #manruttwongkaew #manrutt #fashiondoctor #fashion #art #style #styling #stylist #creativedirector #personalstyle #mensstyle #menswear #mensfashion #london #londonstyle #londonfashion #istitutomarangoni #press #conference #pink (at Istituto Marangoni)

Looking behind the scene of my Creative Lab series: How to Style a Catwalk Show @imlondonstudents @istitutomarangoni this afternoon. It's exciting to see our students from Fashion Design courses to Fashion Styling and Fashion Business working alongside one another to complete the creative tasks. I brought in some industry projects for them to play around with. They were engaged, collaborative, and playful. Many exciting looks were created. Look forward to running the next workshop next week #manruttwongkaew #manrutt #fashiondoctor #creativedirector #fashionstylist #fashion #art #style #styling #stylist #catwalk #workshop #womenswear #menswear #london #londonstyle #londonfashion #creative #play #istitutomarangoni (at Istituto Marangoni)

That's a wrap after styling and dressing 51 final collections over the past 2 days to the external panel before they make the first cut for the final degree show. It's been long days but this reminds me of my happy time backstage. Yes, fashion is last-minute. Yes, the time table has changed. Yes, the zip doesn't work. Yes, the shoes are too small. But if we keep calm, take a deep breathe, and trust our team, we can overcome anything. #manruttwongkaew #manrutt #fashiondoctor #creativedirector #fashion #art #style #styling #stylist #fashionstylist #womenswear #womensstyle #wonensfashion #london #londonstyle #londonfashion #istitutomarangoni #backstage (at Istituto Marangoni)

Reconnecting with the iconic fashion designer @michikokoshino and her team at the Box park's pop-up space yesterday. I am glad to see that everyone is well and that the store was busy with Michiko's loyal fans. I purchased a pink puffed nylon jacket with classic horned hoodies and a dragon tail. Will share a photo with you all next week 😊#manruttwongkaew #manrutt #fashiondoctor #fashion #dance #art #style #styling #stylist #fashionstyle #creativedirector #mensstyle #menswear #mensfashion #london #londonstyle #londonfashion #michikokoshino #icon (at Boxpark Shoreditch)

A Sneak Peak to my workshop "Project Runway" held this morning at Istituto Marangoni as part of the Creative Lab series. I set up the series to nurture cross-course collaboration bringing creative practice back to the heart of fashion pedagogy. The brief was to create a head piece from found materials that students can then style from selections of garments I provided. I also brought in 2 models @leejayhoy and @estellethegazelle that I have worked closely with to be our mannequins. It was fun, exciting, and I am really pleased with the result. #manruttwongkaew #manrutt #fashiondoctor #fashion #dance #art #style #styling #stylist #fashionstyling #creativedirection #photoshoot #editorial #menswear #womenswear #workshop #projectrunway #london #londonstyle #londonfashion #istitutomarangoni (at Istituto Marangoni)
