There's a new girl in town. She's Prim — and just the right dose of the HommeGirls kind of proper. Thai actress, filmmaker and model @primpatnasiri — who just landed two feet on the ground in New York City takes Celine's new Little Halfmoon bag for a spin. Having made her directorial debut with Purple Dalha, an unconventional coming of age love story in 2022, Prim's next mission sees her star as the lead in fantasy-romance, Onethong, landing in theatres this September.
