Bucking 'Sucky Economy,' Thakoon Panichgul Expands Label

It’s been a mighty great 2008 for fashion designer Thakoon Panichgul. His collection for Target hit stores this week. His revamped website boasts some of the most stunning photos we’ve seen in a long time. And, oh yeah, Michelle Obama wore one of his designs at the Democratic National Convention. Now, even in the face of what he describes as “the sucky economy,” Panichgul is planning to expand his label with a new collection for spring called Thakoon Addition.
