I don't know what agency she is with, but she doesn't work at Teen Vogue she was just featured in an article on stylists.
As for Thakoon she styles his shows in the same sense as Lucinda Chambers styles for Marni.

And thanks dreamecho for the new pic!

softgrey, i found the following anonymous comment accompanying her picture from the sartorialist:

That's Tina Chai, our stylist (I work as an assistant designer for Thakoon) and she's wearing all Thakoon! (including the shoes straight from our spring 07 runway...)

so she's a stylist at thakoon...?


**EDIT: karina, sorry for repeating you. i think we were trying to reply to softgrey's questions at the same time. you must have beat me by a few seconds . you're welcome for the pic!

That's cool.

Yeah, as I said in the 1st post she's styled for other designers like Proenza Schouler and Peter Som, Oscar de la Renta....but she seems to have a strong link with Thakoon.

Just got the US Elle February issue and guess what I spotted? An article on Thakoon that includes tiny pics of Tina and you can see how she's involved in the line - helping with casting and directing Panichgul to alter some pieces that he had designed. Read on...

she never styles a Proenza Schouler show. Samira Nasr has had that job until this season when there will be a change but I can't say who....

Love those scans, Leigh H, thank you. Is it cheesy to say that one of Tina's most attractive qualities is her air of competence? She seems smart and hard-working.
