Several youths in Singapore and Malaysia have devoted themselves to fashion — they have embraced the thrill. Most have gone head over heels for clothes, with an endless quest to search for pieces that stand out and to find unique ways to craft a style that is neither ubiquitous nor commonplace.

In an era where modern retail is constantly in flux, some have turned their passion into a full-time career by opening physical spaces to host their interests.

Perhaps sharing one thing in common is their impact in birthing an underground fashion community in the outskirt part of the suburban city. What was once started by a group of five guys by chance has now become an important part of the culture when exploring the local fashion scenes, co-founder Jaden tells us more.
