KFC x Amos Ananda: Have your fast food and… wear it, Lifestyle News

KFC & Amos Ananda: The Hottest Bucket Hat Collab

Think your usual bucket hat is just a fashion statement? In Singapore, KFC has turned it into a feast for the senses. The fast‑food giant teamed up with streetwear maverick Amos Ananda Yeo to drop a capsule collection that’s as crunchy as its signature fried chicken.

What’s in the Bundle?

• Bean‑bag hoodie that feels as comfy as a fresh chicken basket
• Coach jacket with a playful nod to those legendary buckets
• Hawaiian shirt for summer sing‑sings (because why not?)
• Tees, shorts, and jogger pants—everything you need to roll out the red carpet of taste
• The pièce de résistance: a bucket hat that practically tastes like KFC’s chicken
• A tote bag that can carry your daily dose of crunch (or groceries)

Meet the Man Behind the Hats

Amos Ananda, a 31‑year‑old Singaporean designer, came back from Shenzhen in early 2021 when the COVID‑19 “sitch” hit hard. To keep the lights on, he launched a home‑based biz selling hei pia (deep‑fried prawn fritters). That knack for turning everyday items into edible art caught KFC’s eye.

The Why Behind the Collaboration

After KFC’s limited‑edition fried‑chicken masks wowed the crowd in April, the team realized they had a golden opportunity:

“We saw a chance to give a local designer not only a platform but also a boost for his craft during these challenging times. At the same time, it’s a first‑of‑its‑kind streetwear collab in Singapore—fast‑food meets fashion—making history,” said Lynette Lee, Business Manager of KFC Singapore.

Why This Matters

It’s more than just a hat. It’s a symbol that supports local talent, sparks creativity, and proves that a quick‑service restaurant can go the extra mile to feed the community—not just appetites, but fashion cravings as well.

So next time you spot a bucket hat with a KFC twist, remember it’s not just a wardrobe upgrade; it’s a slice of Singapore’s street‑style soul that’s been seasoned with a side of solidarity.

KFC Goes Glam: The Colonel Loves His New Hawaiian Tee

When you think of KFC, you probably picture bucket‑filled chickens and a legendary Colonel, not runway looks and street‑style swagger. But the fast‑food giant has been weaving fashion threads into its brand for a while—think 2019’s op‑tweaked uniforms by veteran designer Thomas Wee. This time, KFC Singapore has teamed up with trendy Aussie‑born label Amos Ananda to crown the holiday season with a fresh capsule collection.

What’s in the mix?

• Colonel Sanders Hawaiian shirt – the star of the line, stylized from an existing black‑and‑white vibe that screams “cool AF.”
• Other goodies include a coach jacket and a stylish tote bag, rounding out the range.
• Price tags run from a modest $19.90 for the tote up to a high‑end $109.90 for the jacket.

Amos takes the wheel of the ideas behind the collection:

“The collection was inspired by the KFC brand that is ‘Always Original’—which mirrors the essence of my brand. It’s such an honour to partner with KFC Singapore and spread the message of celebrating one’s original self and owning one’s personality through fashion,” he says.

And it isn’t just about the clothes. During a pandemic‑heavy year, Amos says the partnership felt like a breath of fresh air:

“Designing streetwear was a passion project that finally felt real again. I hope our friends and fans will enjoy this collection as much as I do!”

So if you’re looking to mix a Colonel’s classic cool with your everyday wardrobe, this capsule might just be the stuff of dreams—and you can even brag that you’re wearing a shirt that’s literally a part of a KFC legacy.
