 _SIRIVANNAVARI Ceremonial Uniforms for Thailand National Team_

 Conceived under the concept **“The Art of Unity”**, the uniforms express a meeting
of cultures, craftsmanship and communities through the language of fashion. The 
collection incorporates **handwoven indigo-dyed cotton from the Donkoi Model in 
Sakon Nakhon Province**, alongside handwoven cotton from the**SUPPORT Foundation**,
transforming generations of textile knowledge into a modern expression of Thai identity.

 SIRIVANNAVARI, the Bangkok-based fashion house that presents its collections during**
Milan Fashion Week**, has developed a distinctive design language that brings Thai
craftsmanship into dialogue with contemporary fashion. For the Asian Games, this
approach extends beyond the textiles themselves to a specially developed embroidery
motif inspired by the cultural connection between **Thailand and Japan**, symbolising
a dialogue between Thailand and the host nation while reinforcing the collection’s
spirit of unity.

 Designed for both male and female athletes, the official ceremony uniform comprises
four key pieces. The **handwoven cotton jacket** is cut in SIRIVANNAVARI’s signature
tailored silhouette, featuring three functional patch pockets and custom logo-embossed
buttons. A crisp white shirt is distinguished by an elongated pointed collar and
an embroidered bib panel carrying the Thailand–Japan motif. Coordinating tailored
trousers complete the silhouette, while the House’s signature **“Diamond Knot” necktie**
introduces a recognisable SIRIVANNAVARI design code.

 Bringing **“The Art of Unity”** to life, the accompanying photo and film campaign
brings together some of Thailand’s most celebrated athletes across generations and
sporting disciplines. Dressed in the SIRIVANNAVARI ceremony uniforms, each represents
a story of dedication, achievement and national pride — reflecting the same collective
spirit embodied in the craftsmanship and communities behind the uniforms.

 The campaign features **Her Royal Highness Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya**,
Asian Games Gold Medallist in Equestrian Dressage (Team Event) at Busan 2002 and
an accomplished international equestrian athlete; **“Tennis” Panipak Wongpattanakit**,
two-time Olympic Champion in Taekwondo at Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024; **“View” Kunlavut
Vitidsarn**, Paris 2024 Olympic Silver Medallist and 2023 Men’s Singles Badminton
World Champion; **“Yu” Banlung Tubtimdang**, Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games Champion 
in Men’s -63kg Taekwondo; **“Beam” Pimpichaya Kokram**, Asian Champion and a leading
member of Thailand’s national women’s volleyball team; and **“Ying” Suthasini Sawettabut**,
Southeast Asian table tennis champion and multiple SEA Games gold medallist. Together,
the six athletes embody the spirit of **“The Art of Unity”** — bringing different
generations, disciplines and achievements together under one national identity.

 More than ceremonial attire, the uniforms represent a meeting point between **fashion,
sport and Thai craftsmanship**. By bringing locally made textiles and the skills
of Thai artisans to the Asian Games, SIRIVANNAVARI presents a contemporary expression
of Thailand — one rooted in cultural heritage while confident in its place within
international fashion.

 As Thailand’s athletes enter the Opening Ceremony of the **20th Asian Games Aichi-
Nagoya 2026**, they will wear more than the colours of their nation: **they will
carry the craftsmanship, creativity and collective spirit of the Thai communities
behind them — united through “The Art of Unity.”**

 **Designed by:** 
 SIRIVANNAVARI, under the creative direction of Her Royal Highness
Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya

 **Design Concept:** 
 **“The Art of Unity”**

 The concept expresses the spirit of unity among the Thai people as they come together
in support of Thailand’s national athletes on the Asian stage.

 **THE HEART OF THE DESIGN**

 At the heart of the ceremonial uniforms is the use of **naturally indigo-dyed handwoven
cotton from the Donkoi Model in Sakon Nakhon Province**, a sustainable community
development initiative under the vision of Her Royal Highness Princess Sirivannavari
Nariratana Rajakanya, together with handwoven cotton from **The SUPPORT Foundation
of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother**.

 The Donkoi Model originated from Her Royal Highness’s commitment to the continued
development of Thai textiles. Following a visit to the Donkoi weaving community 
in Phanna Nikhom District, Sakon Nakhon Province, in 2020, Her Royal Highness provided
guidance on textile design, quality, patterns, colour development and production
standards, helping traditional handwoven textiles respond to contemporary applications
while creating greater economic value for local communities.

 The initiative subsequently developed into the **Donkoi Model**, an approach to
sustainable community development that combines the preservation of local textile
wisdom with the creation of livelihoods and income. In collaboration with Thailand’s
Community Development Department, Ministry of Interior, the initiative has also 
supported the development of products towards Premium OTOP standards and greater
recognition for Thai textiles nationally and internationally.

 **THE CEREMONIAL UNIFORM**

 Designed for both male and female athletes, the ceremonial uniform comprises **
four key pieces: a suit jacket, white shirt, trousers and necktie.**

 *  **THE SUIT JACKET**

 Tailored from handwoven cotton, the three-pocket jacket is shaped in SIRIVANNAVARI’s
distinctive silhouette and incorporates details created specifically for Thailand’s
national team.

 The chest pocket carries the **Thailand national team emblem for the Asian Games
2026**, while the back is embroidered with **“THAILAND”**, featuring a heart-shaped
detail above the letter “I”.

 The jacket is finished with signature light-blue SIRIVANNAVARI logo buttons — four
at the front and four positioned diagonally at each cuff. Two adjustable waist-button
positions allow the fit to be adapted to the wearer’s physique, providing greater
comfort and freedom of movement.

 *  **THE WHITE SHIRT**

 The white shirt features SIRIVANNAVARI’s signature elongated pointed collar and
a **detachable embroidered chest panel specially created to express the cultural
dialogue between Thailand and Japan**.

 Thai identity is represented through **Wat Arun (The Temple of Dawn)** and the **
Bodhi tree**, while Japan is represented through **Nagoya Castle** and **cherry 
blossoms (sakura)**.

 The two cultures are connected through **Seigaiha**, the traditional Japanese wave
motif symbolising peace, prosperity and a smooth journey. The embroidery is completed
with two geometric weaving patterns that share a visual affinity: Thailand’s **Chalew**
and Japan’s **Kagome**, representing the rich craft traditions and artisanal wisdom
of both nations.

 *  **THE TROUSERS**

 The straight-leg trousers are tailored from premium suiting fabric in a colour 
coordinated with the jacket, creating a harmonious balance between Thai textile 
heritage and contemporary international tailoring.

 Side openings at the hem allow greater freedom of movement, while an adjustable
waist fastening enhances comfort and fit. The back is finished with SIRIVANNAVARI’s
signature **peacock emblem**.

 *  **THE TIE**

 Completing the ensemble is a tie styled with the signature **“Diamond Knot”**, 
a detail that reflects the SIRIVANNAVARI’s meticulous attention to craftsmanship
and refinement in every element of the design.

 **THE ART OF UNITY**

 The SIRIVANNAVARI ceremonial uniforms for the Asian Games 2026 embody **national
pride through contemporary design**. Every element balances aesthetic refinement
with functionality, comfort and freedom of movement for the athletes.

 At the same time, the uniforms bring Thailand’s textile heritage, indigenous wisdom
and craftsmanship onto an international stage — transforming traditional handwoven
textiles through a contemporary fashion vocabulary and celebrating the collective
spirit behind **“The Art of Unity.”**
