What to know about VeniceW
Cosplay references, made wearable
Venice Wanakornkul builds collections from high-fantasy and cosplay sources, turning them into rounded, inflated silhouettes, gauzy dresses and sculptural blouses.
Linen does the structural work
Construction is largely linen-centric, which is what gives the puffed, character-driven pieces — like the SS23 "living hoodies" — their shape rather than heavy tailoring.
Small label, serious credentials
Founded 2018 after a Parsons MFA and work at Telfar and Eckhaus Latta; it shows on the London Fashion Week schedule and sells through SSENSE and GR8 Tokyo.
