On May 6, 2024, CDA Chuliepote Isarankura Na Ayudhaya attended the inaugural Fashioning Power, Fashioning Peace exhibition and the gala reception at the President Woodrow Wilson House, Washington, D.C.

The exhibition was organized by President Woodrow Wilson House, in honor of the late Ambassador Esther Coopersmith, to showcase innovative fashion pieces by contemporary designers who are crafting the visual identities of today's leaders and diplomatic representatives, thereby influencing perceptions and fostering a global dialogue on peace, power, and cultural diversity.

CDA Chuliepote loaned a Thai evening dress for the exhibition. This evening dress was inspired by the outfit of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother, who has dedicated her lifelong work to preserve and promote Thai textiles and traditional crafts. Her Majesty commissioned French and Thai couturiers to tailor royal outfits from traditional Thai village textiles for royal visits abroad and at home. Through cultural diplomacy, Her Majesty has presented the taste and skill of Thai craftspeople to the world as well as has inspired local craftspeople to preserve and develop the traditional crafts. CDA Chuliepote wore this dress at the ASEAN Culture Day 2023, an event to showcase ASEAN culture and fashion at the Department of State.

Ambassador Coopersmith’s outfit that was showcased at the exhibition was made of Thai silk. Ambassador Coopersmith attended The Queen Mother’s Thai silk festival annually and purchased yards of many different silks for her dressmaker to create gorgeous one-of-kind suits that display this important Thai handicraft.
