The Beginning of a Bridal Journey
Q: What led you to enter the bridal industry?
Tape:
Before founding Adam and Eve, I had been working in the ready-to-wear fashion industry since 2008. Over the years, I took on many rolesdesigning for Thai fashion brands, working as a stylist for concerts and artists, and serving as a costume designer for stage productions. Fashion has always been an integral part of my life.
The idea of creating a bridal brand began in 2016 when I designed a wedding gown for my older brothers wedding. The dress received overwhelmingly positive feedback, and my family encouraged me to pursue this path seriously. I spent about six months studying the market and shaping the brand direction before officially launching Adam and Eve in February 2017on Valentines Day.
The First Wedding Dress in Memory
Q: Do you remember the first wedding dress you ever designed? How did you feel?
Tape:
The very first wedding dress I designed was for a close friend right after we graduated. She asked me to design and make her wedding gown, and I remember feeling incredibly excited. My only goal was to create a dress that truly represented who she was and made her feel confident.
Seeing the completed gown and watching her wear it on her wedding day filled me with immense pride. That moment made me realize how meaningful it is to design a wedding dress for someoneits an experience that stays with you.
Inspiration Behind Bridal Design
Q: What inspires you the most in designing wedding dresses?
Tape:
The smile and confidence of a bride when she puts on a gown crafted with love and intention. Especially that moment after zipping up the dress, when she stands in front of the mirror and sees the best version of herself. Seeing her look and feel beautiful on such an important day is the greatest motivation that keeps me passionate about bridal design.
