The heart of design
Mr. Polpat Asavaprapha or Moo Asava said “Uniform by Asava has been entrusted with designing staff uniforms for Thai leading organizations. dtac, surely lying in that category, has chosen me for this uniform collection. With the definition of “dtac Exclusive Collection Uniform by Asava”, we started the design from the value perspective of dtac and let that be the heart of our design with key points as follows:
- Simple and Human refer to sincerity, honesty, and simplicity. This collection is designed to be casual, however, with outstanding and punctilious details; therefore, the design looks sincere and friendly.
- Digital or hybrid. The design is a perfect blend of everything. When we speak of digital technology and communication, we must talk about liveliness, enthusiasm, and agility. All of these are presented with this design in every element.
- Playful. The design addresses the meaning of the word playful, joyful, and lively. All pieces in the design can be used with each other, or, in the other word, they all are interchangeable. Another highlight of this collection is jeans fabrication. dtac is among the first organizations in Thailand to let us make jeans exclusively for them. We have to admit that jeans are the culture of this generation.
The design begins with the color layout, as the main color of the organization is adjusted to be lively and joyful. A simple denim jacket are adapted to be more fashionable by shifting the fabric, while sportiness is assorted to the pants design to create a look of activeness. By looking at the whole picture, we want this collection to be trustworthy and cheerful at the same time. The highlight of the new uniforms is that they can be considered as either working or casual dresses with mixes of colors and patterns. More importantly, they all are exchangeable. Especially, men’s shirts are designed with small and large stripes that everyone is familiar with, making them look more interesting.
dtac and Uniform by Asava pay attention to every detail in this uniform design even though some people might think that the uniform is just superficial. In fact, the uniform can clearly reflect the organization’s philosophy and perspective.
