Senior Thai fashionista battling dementia shows her colors at Bangkok exhibition

A chic, senior fashionista is proving she’s still young at heart with her first exhibition opening today. 

Before being diagnosed with dementia, Archara “Teaw” Na Ayuthaya, 73, was a fashion icon in her own right, matching her clothes with all imaginable color palettes. 

Though her sense of style faded as her condition progressed, her son has been documenting his mother’s rejuvenation on their Instagram account @70youngteaw (roughly “70 still young”), showing off her mother’s daily dose of color and intimate stories.

The exhibition will run today until Feb. 26 at Profane Craft…
