Bangkok, Thailand: Gaysorn, the luxury shopping

wbexpof-2

Following my post about malls shopping in Bangkok, here my Darling Gaysorn,the subtle luxury, with a really hype minimalist all-white interior. In the big main hall, I’ve discovered an interesting exhibition about the best Thai fashion designers and some contemporay artists sculptures for perfumes. I’ve lost my notes with their names and I want apology to the artists. For shopping: usual international luxury brands. And some great fashion, home design and beauty shops with local top brands too. And I really like the refined merchandising.

Pour compléter mon post sur le shopping dans les malls à Bangkok: mon chouchou, le Gaysorn, le luxueux subtile, à l’intérieur blanc immaculé, moderne minimaliste. Dans le hall principal, j’ai découvert une exposition sur le meilleur des créateurs thaïlandais, ainsi que des sculptures pour parfums d’artistes contemporains. J’ai perdu mes notes avec leur nom, toutes mes escuses aux artistes. Pour le shopping: toujours les mêmes marques internationales de luxe, mais aussi des boutiques multimarques de mode, décoration et beauté, présentant le top des marques locales. J’ai aussi beaucoup aimé la manière dont les produits sont présentés.

Bangkok, Thailand: Shopping in Malls

wshopping

Truly I hate shopping especially in malls! But let’s try sales in the Bangkok oversized malls. The sexy mall culture! The area has been totally different since my first stay in Bangkok, ages ago! I’ve fogot the skyway: really useful to go to each malls and having a great view to the traffic jam. And the street hustle and bustle: I really enjoy. Follow-me!

Let’s start with Central (station: BTS Chitlom), the oldest. A short of Macy’s. Middle range. With cheap merchandising, like at the accessoires level: a messy mix of low-quality bags and shoes and luxury brands. At the beauty level: refined organic brands “made in Thailand” . There is also a really nice délicatessen.

Second stop: Gaysorn, the subtle luxury, my darling. All white interior. Presenting very interesting exhibitions of Thai Fashion Designers. Of course there are the shops of the international luxury brands and some concept stores with refined merchandising and selection items in fashion, and design and beauty brands.

strong>Erawan: luxury, less refined than Gaysorn. Pictures below: at the corner of the Erawan street, there is a little temple (big as a merry-go-round), where people pray.

The massive imposing Central World: with many different department stores like “Zen”. Between middle range and low-quality. Nothing great or unexpected: no creativity. Definitely for me. Next!

Wow still on your way? By walk during one day and night (shops close late 10-11 pm): Congrats! At Siam Center (picture above): great great decoration! About the teenagers sreetwear brands selection, nothing particular! Facing the Siam Center, the legendary Siam Paragon (Station BTS Siam) : a huge mall with a famous aquarium I didn‘t have time to visit. Colossal surfaces of luxury shops (still the same international brands, it starts becoming boring). And the most impressive level is the food center, with the so massive delicatessen where you can simply find e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: beauty and plastic surgery

Tudo bem In Brazil For The Body Cult!

Cia-cia-ciao lovely women’s magazines and archaic diets! In Rio, the press has developed many big audience magazines about aesthetic surgery for young and “less” young men and women. At least to be more beautiful, all suffer the same way or almost.

And the radiant proud Carioca stars are really good at explaining their “perfection” secrets. Claimed bistouries’ addiction with no inhibitions. Unthinkable for our French celebs, but their plastic surgeries results are less impressive and exciting. Maybe because of the light… or the culture: in Paris, we miss beautiful beaches. Subscribing to those magazines, or participating to one of their last games, you can win a fresh new tone and perfectly shaped buttock (the national emblem), a mega bright laser smile (another national institution) and  body-builder stomach and lipo sculpture… Vertigo!

Some super superlative beauty package? I’m truly impressed. An abrasive Californian “natural” – I must confess – enjoyable to watch and for the good mood. I’ve forgotten the astounding number of private clinics in streets (like shops), even in small Nordeste towns. And the Brazilian famous Professor Ivo Pitanguy, “father of today’s plastic surgery”  whom since the seventies has developed less aggressive surgical techniques. And the Brazilian supermodel Gisele’s changed her nose, hasn’t she? Gossip…
