Right now, "Nani" Hirunkit Changkham has gotten comfortable with the way things are, Right now, "Nani Hirukit Chandkhane never envisaged in the beginning. "The way i see it, success is not as straightforward and can not be explained in the way most would think," the 26-year-old earnestly mentions one afternoon as he settles into his hotel in Milan - this time in the Italian fashion capital to attend the Dolce&Gabbana women's Fall/Winter '24 show.

He sits at the edge of his room, by a square window drawing the last ounce of Milan's rainy February sky, waiting as the crew prepares to bring him around the city for today's shoot.
