Re-Loved Haven
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. This desire for individuality and freedom has spurred interest in thrift shopping - a place many have turned to look for the rarest of pieces. 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.
FIFTH is a Malaysian thrift store with a grunge and eccentric style at Taman Paramount - an area which was once filled with Kopitiams (hawker centres) - are now hanging out spots for the "best dressed". The people behind the rebranding of such a trendy location is none other than Gen Zs themselves. 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.
What are some misconceptions people have about thrifting and the community that you have built?
I’d say most people might take our customers as very young people, and that is somewhat true because during our open markets and events that we host, the place is mostly crowded with Gen Zs. But actually, when it comes to just a regular day in the store our customers are what you might not expect. We’ve had a 60 to 70year old uncle regularly visiting every now and then, a mother with her two kids and some times even a big family on a shopping spree.
