Her captivating presence and distinctive charm propelled Thanaerng Kanyawee Songmuang into the limelight where she flourishes as both an actress and model. Her breakthrough role in Hormones 2 in 2014 ignited her meteoric rise, leading to prominent roles across television, film and fashion. A versatile talent, Thanaerng consistently evolves her craft, leaving an indelible mark on the industry.

L’OFFICIEL is showcasing Thanaerng in a fashion shoot, featuring the impeccable designs of Bottega Veneta known for exquisite leather craftsmanship and where the Italian luxury brand provides a prestigious platform for the rising star.

Thanaerng’s energy is noticeable during our Thonburi studio appointment. As she effortlessly showcases each Bottega Veneta ensemble, her innate style and the brand’s exquisite craftsmanship converge. It is evident why she, alongside Dew Jirawat, was chosen to represent the luxury label — Thanaerng’s personality is the perfect fit for the aesthetic of the brand.

On another note, she was invited to join Milan Fashion Week 2024 for the brand’s Fall/Winter runway show earlier this year in February.

“The call came as a complete surprise. Intrigue sparked the moment I received the news. Subsequent conversations with the team revealed an exciting proposition: creative freedom to express my style. The opportunity to experiment and be authentically myself was incredibly appealing,” she says.

How enjoyable was it watching the show in Italy? “The show had its own vibe — relaxed and open. They truly respected everyone’s style; there were no fashion “boxes”. Working with the global team was amazing. I loved experiencing different cultures, especially the warmth of the Italians.
