Thakoon Panichgul's secondary line is called Addition, and its Spring 2012 collection is an [easy, wearable, yet experimental](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir) series of clothing that customers are sure to snap up in an instant and fall in love with. Rather than having to focus solely on what's fashionable right now, like major designers are pressured to do on the runway, the Thakoon Addition [Spring 2012 collection is simple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stein).
