At the Dior Spring/Summer ’26 show late last year, everything felt special—the throng of people, the energy, the new discoveries waiting to be made—particularly when Kornnaphat Sethratanapong, or Orm as she is affectionately called, completed her look with her dream items. “I feel excited every time I go,” says the Thai star. “ (Because) I get to see new things. I was so happy to wear the floral shoes that I’d dreamt of. Many looks on the runway this season made me feel most like myself—confident, playful, and having fun with clothes that truly represent me. The clothes I saw in the show can actually be worn in everyday life. They perfectly blend the French girl vibe with the vibrant energy of the younger generation,” she smiles.

A new role

When talking about the new year, as an artist who has made her way to the forefront of the industry, Orm sees her role with increasing clarity: it’s not just about herself anymore. She now wants to pass on positive energy to her fans who love and follow her in 2026. “My goal in working is simply to bring happiness to others, even if it’s just a little. I want those who watch me to be happy and receive something good in return.”
