The Thai brand GENTLEWOMAN presents a vision of femininity grounded in individuality, letting playfulness and contradiction surface through the lightly ironic gestures of ‘In a Dollstate’.

A renewed fascination with doll-like imagery has emerged as an intimate form of expression. Across the Spring Summer 2026 runways -from Sandy Liang to Yuhan Wang and Ashley Williams– this language of a naïf sensibility brushed with kawaii charm has gained unexpected depth. The new collection ‘In a Dollstate’ by GENTLEWOMAN resonates with this mood. It returns to a world where ribbons floated and small bows framed early ideas of beauty and comfort, translating those sensations into silhouettes that feel both tender and fully grown. The line reframes childhood gestures through refined textures and a clarity that speaks to contemporary femininity.

Anchored in Bangkok, GENTLEWOMAN builds its identity around confidence, individuality and the freedom to define femininity from within. The brand embraces women’s curves, edges and contradictions through materials that move lightly and details that draw the eye without overwhelming it.

At the same time, GENTLEWOMAN offers an evolving wardrobe that spans casual wear, active pieces, swimwear and accessories, reinforcing its commitment to accessibility, variety and thoughtful design. ‘In a Dollstate’ adds another chapter to this vision, balancing playful sensibility with functional appeal and inviting a renewed joy in dressing guided by imagination.
