SHOWSTOPPER
When you combine a stunning woman like Thipvipa “Jane” Kitakkaranon with a collection of classic women’s timepieces from Breguet, the exquisite Oriental Suite at Mandarin Oriental Bangkok and a top-notch crew, it’s a given that the result is going to be a real showstopper. Posing in a larger-than-life, jaw-droppingly beautiful black ballgown can, however, prove somewhat of a challenge – especially when considering Jane’s petite frame. We overcame this obstacle by unceremoniously putting her into the bathtub, ballgown and all, and the bathroom just so happens to have a charming backdrop of the Chao Phraya River. The dress filled the bathtub to the rim, with dramatic effect and “wows” from everyone. Sometimes in life, those spur-of-the-moment ideas really pay off!
