Hip-hop star Kanye West — who has been nicknamed the “Louis Vuitton Don” because of his penchant for the luxury brand — turned up at the Thakoon show yesterday, perhaps in search of another fashion muse. And there was much to be inspired by. The label’s namesake and designer, Thakoon Panichgul, served up seduction and sheer elegance — with an emphasis on sheer. Several fitted dresses in black and ivory featured a crisscrossing fabric that had the effect of appearing to strap in the frock underneath. Mr. Panichgul’s exceptional attention to craft was also in evidence in a series of sequin and chiffon open-back dresses in both smokey and flesh tones. The boudoir sensibility extended with cheeky knickers and bras made from a series of creative prints with repeated kisses, black roses, and fluttering eyelashes.
