Some moments stay with you forever.
Shades of Sunset Fashion Show at InterContinental Koh Samui Resort was one of those moments, a celebration of island life, timeless design, community, and new beginnings.
As the sun slowly disappeared beyond the horizon, Mina Essence presented new collection pieces alongside timeless favourites from the Island Edit Collection, inspired by effortless elegance, beauty in simplicity, and harmony with nature.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Air Bar, one of Koh Samui's most iconic sunset destinations, the evening beautifully reflected everything Mina Essence stands for. Air Bar is featured in the New York Times bestselling travel book 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, making it a truly unforgettable setting for a collection born on this remarkable island.
The timing made the occasion even more meaningful, as the event took place shortly after Koh Samui was named the World's Best Island of 2026 by Travel + Leisure. Presenting a collection inspired by island living during such a special moment in the island's story felt incredibly fitting.
The runway brought together lightweight natural fabrics, relaxed silhouettes, and timeless designs created to move effortlessly from beach days to sunset cocktails and elegant evenings. Every piece reflected our belief that true luxury lies in comfort, thoughtful craftsmanship, and effortless style that transcends seasons.
The evening was brought to life by an inspiring group of women from the Koh Samui community, each bringing her own unique essence to the runway. Their confidence, individuality, and elegance transformed every look into a story, reminding us that fashion is at its most beautiful when it feels authentic.
We are deeply grateful to the entire team at InterContinental Koh Samui Resort for their warm hospitality, professionalism, and exceptional attention to detail. From the very first conversations to the final sunset, every part of the collaboration was a pleasure, creating an experience we will always remember.
For Mina Essence, Koh Samui is far more than a destination. It is where the brand was born, where our collections continue to be designed and created, and where nature, community, and island living inspire everything we do.
As Mina Essence continues its journey beyond the island, our wonderful team continues to welcome you on Koh Samui.
Thank you to everyone who attended, collaborated, supported, and shared this beautiful evening with us. Your encouragement continues to inspire every new collection, every collaboration, and every new horizon.
One last sunset. A thousand reasons to return.
We look forward to welcoming you to Koh Samui and to Mina Essence.
