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.”
