In Episode 3, which was recorded in March 2019 in NYC, Christel sits down with Thai American fashion designer, lauded by Anna Wintour in 2009’s ‘The September Issue’, and worn by former FLOTUS Michelle Obama, Thakoon Panichgul.

Christel and stylist Jolene Lin visit Thakoon at his apartment in Tribeca to sit down with him and his dog, Stevie. This episode explores Thakoon’s childhood memories of moving from Thailand to the USA, particularly his experiences being an immigrant in Omaha, Nebraska; to unravel and unpack how he arrived at his current multipass identity and what that means to him now.
