For a designer who launched his career at the dawn of e-commerce, Thakoon Panichgul has chosen a distinctly analog path. While most brands have leaned further into online retail, the 51-year-old Thailand-born Nebraskan continues to favor the tactile over the pixelated, the expnerience over the transaction… and print over digital. Last week, he unveiled a brick-and-mortar outpost for his label, HommeGirls, transforming a 250-square-foot Chinatown dry cleaner into a retail space that needs to be experienced rather than scrolled through. The compact store houses all things HommeGirls: the magazine, the menswear-for-women shirts, undergarments, and essentials.
