10 People Who Help Fuel And Influence The Fashion Industry

NICOLETTE YIP – STREETWEAR GURU, CULTURE HOUND & DYNAMO (PICTURED HERE WITH HER PET DOG LOLA)

For most of the six years that her streetwear label The Salvages – co-founded with the local streetwear pioneer Earn Chen – has been around, it’s built a cult global following on little more than graphic tees and sweatshirts big on insider cool. With the Spring/Summer 2022 collection that hits stores this month though, it’s revved up to offer a more holistic wardrobe that includes footwear and “activewear-meets-ready-to-wear” – think punk-inflected tailored pants and shorts made of moisture-wicking nylon with a four-way stretch so one can actually go running in them.

On the next most exciting thing in streetwear and culture:

“A growing grassroots spirit, decentralization, and the support for it all. It used to be that people outside of the creative fields were not as participative in the arts here, but now there are engineers, the NFT investor, families with children – there’s a lot more involvement from audiences of different backgrounds. And with so many different platforms, anyone can create something, put their work out there and find gratification from those that they connect with. I’m thrilled to see where this all leads to. Culture is such a fluid concept and even more so in these fast-changing times.”

GOOD VIBES

EVERY YEAR, CHANEL PICKS A PLACE ON THE WORLD MAP NOT ONLY TO INSPIRE, BUT ALSO TO SHOWCASE ITS ANNUAL CRUISE COLLECTION (IT’S A TRADITION THAT’S ROOTED IN THE MAISON’S EARLY YEARS WHEN COCO CHANEL PRESENTED A LINE OUTSIDE OF THE USUAL FASHION CALENDAR TO INCITE WANDERLUST FOR TOASTIER, MORE PICTURE-PERFECT CLIMES DURING THE WINTER MONTHS). THE LATEST DESTINATION: VIBRANT MARSEILLE – THE FRENCH CITY THAT RECEIVES THE MOST SUNSHINE; HOME TO AN ECLECTIC REPERTOIRE OF CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS AND LANDMARKS; AND A MAGNET FOR EMERGING CREATIVES WITH ITS MIX OF GRIT AND GLAMOUR, LAND AND SEA, AND YOUTHFUL BOHEMIAN ENERGY. THE RESULTS? A COLLECTION THAT MAKES US WANT TO LET LOOSE AND DANCE. NOELLE LOH REPORTS FROM THE PHOCAEAN CITY.

THEIR ENDEAVOURS RANGE FROM A MODEST NEIGHBOURHOOD BAR TO CONGLOMERATE-BACKED, MULTI-CONCEPT SPACES AND A MULTIFARIOUS NETWORK OF POP-UP PARTIES, ALL OF WHICH HAVE BEEN MAKING AN EXTRA-LOUD SPLASH IN THE PAST YEAR. WHAT ELSE THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON: THEY'RE RETHINKING AND RESHAPING PARTY CULTURE FOR THE FUTURE - OR, TO PARAPHRASE CHARLI XCX, THEY'RE BUMPIN' IT.

The six names in this story create wildly different works that tend to blur the boundaries among disparate disciplines. All have little in common except one thing: a certain wondrousness and sense of curiosity that inspire audiences to look at familiar things anew. Keng Yang Shuen reports.

The artist

Johnny Depp is certainly far from the conventional leading man: the iconically quirky on-screen roles, the rock musician persona (he was a guitarist before becoming an actor), the unexpected neoexpressionist portraits in 2022 (these paintings of cultural heroes ranging from AI Pacino to Elizabeth Taylor sold out in a day), and of course the title of being Dior's long-standing poster boy for its wilderness-inspired flagship men's perfume Sauvage for nine years and counting.
