POST-THESIS

Do you remember looking at all your friends during the morning assembly time at school and thinking about how each person looks exactly like everyone else? Here is someone who wishes that students in the morning assembly of the future look around and marvel at how diverse his/her friends are. His name is Tin Tunsopon and his vision is embodied in Post-Thesis.

“In university, I gave my professor a list of topics that I was interested in doing a thesis about. One of them was uniform culture and its history in Thailand. After some discussion with my professor, this became the topic of my thesis submission. However, I was still bound by certain restrictions such as producing a thesis that would gain the best results, as well as complying to the school and professor’s limitation. I graduated with these ideas still fresh in my mind. So, I decided to explore them and this led to the brand that reimagines what uniform could look like.”

The pieces that Tin has produced aim to trigger creativity in the uniform-wearing population. “I look at Post-Thesis as a platform to reimagine existing norms and inject diversity into it,” Tin says. All the clothes still have references to the traditional uniform in terms of colours and overall shape, but most of the details have Tin’s spin on them. The idea is to encourage children to experiment and explore their individuality and creative ability. Most of the items need to be pre-ordered.
