During these days, we talked with Gemini and Fourth. The actors were guests of Zegna and attended the brand fashion show. We asked how it felt to be in Italy and in the fashion capital of Milan. Gemini told us, “I am feeling very excited and happy to be part of the Zegna fashion show in Milan for the first time. I am so thrilled,” while Fourth added, “I feel deeply in love with Italy because it is a beautiful country. I love the buildings and architecture, especially Duomo; it’s incredibly beautiful, and the weather is so cold. The people in Italy are very good-looking, too”. Being in Milan for fashion, we asked them too about the fashion item they can’t live without. Gemini and Fourth have no hesitation. For Gemini, “Watches are essential; I cannot go without them”, while Fourth was totally about “Sunglasses, definitely! I like sunglasses because they serve a purpose. We can wear them for sun protection and also use them as a hair accessory”. Living a whole experience, we had to ask them about one of the Italic excellence: food. Gemini revealed to us: “I like Gelato, so delicious!”. Fourth sticks to a very traditional food: pizza: “Pizza, because it is an Italian classic menu, and it is also popular as I see so many pizza shops along the streets”. “I have the opportunity to talk with people from Zegna” told us Gemini “They invite me to chat, and we get to know each other. From their perspective, they inquire about life in Thailand – when events are typically held, what we do, what we’re like, and how old I am. They are surprised and pleased to learn about Thailand, our events, and what I do. I’m glad I have the chance to have these conversations”. “It is a great experience to work at Fashion Week for the first time in Europe,” added Fourth. “Being in Europe for the first time left me a lasting impression on the people and the beauty of the city”. When asked to describe their time in our Country in a word, Gemini said: “Amazing, because it’s an opportunity to do something new, participating in a fashion show for the first time, and I am hoping for more opportunities in the future”. Gemini on the other side, chose “Beautiful, because Italy is a very beautiful Country. I like the buildings and Italian architecture”.
