Coco Kliks article imageHer toy Barbie dolls modeled Coco Kliks’ earliest fashions. These days, hot celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Bai Ling don her designs.

Kliks, who was born in 1976 in Thailand, spent an unconventional childhood traveling around the globe with her scientist parents. With a keen eye and innate appreciation for style, Kliks soaked up the diverse culture and fashion she encountered and developed a signature style infused with international flavors.

Her penchant for fashion and style was further developed at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco, where Kliks excelled. She won several awards, including the Golden Thimble for best creative work, and used the money she won from the Lorber Fashion Design contest to fund her travels to Paris. It was there that Kliks worked in houses such as Torrente Haute Couture, renowned for its high fashion.

In 2001 , Kliks moved to Los Angeles, where she continued to bring her inventive vision to fashion. She focused on everyday wear, adding a couture-inspired twist to her fashions. Her beautifully detailed yet wearable creations have been featured in television shows like Will and Grace and Friends and magazines like Rolling Stone and Glamour.

Looking into the future, Kliks sees potential for more Thai influences in her designs, and plans to highlight those influences with her signature style when the time is right. "In fashion, timing is everything,” says Kliks. “Working a stronger Thai influence into my designs will definitely be something that I think about when I'm working on future lines.” In the meantime, she hopes to promote Thai fabrics and their manufacturers in Los Angeles.

Kliks brings a crisp, feminine freshness to her fashion. Her line “Circus Sublime” is based on three characters: the Ringmaster, the Lion Tamer and Victoria the Circus Belle. With clean, flattering lines, a rich palette of colors and thoughtful details, Kliks merged these three sensibilities into one unique and stylish vision.
