Streetwear is no longer “hipster” or alternative anymore in the fashion sphere. Luxury and streetwear brands regularly collaborate to release limited collections which attract hundreds.
The Supreme and Louis Vuitton collaboration in Singapore generated so much hype that at least 300 people were queuing before 7 am to grab a piece when sales started at 10.30 am.
Although labels like Supreme, Palace and Bathing Ape are among the more popular ones, more recent homegrown labels in Asia have turned heads. You’d be surprised that one or two of these labels were actually started in Singapore.

1. DEBLANC
bunch of hype around DEBLANC: Singapore’s street‑wear icon

- MALAYSIA – ran out of stock in minutes after launch
- PHILIPPINES – collectors say they can’t find a size in time
- HONG KONG – fans are lining up outside stores
Every drop is ultra‑limited, so if you’re craving one of their iconic pieces you’ve got to act fast. Don’t wait for the next teaser—snag it now before it disappears.
Where to get it

Meet SBTG Surplus & Co.: The Streetwear Brand That Started on the Dance Floor and Rocked Singapore
Picture a brand that burst onto the scene in 2013 from the bustling streets of Kuala Lumpur and then decided to set up shop in buzzing Singapore. That’s exactly what SBTG Surplus & Co. has been doing, turning skate‑town energy into wardrobe staples for everyday folks.
Designs Low‑key, but with a Pop of Sass
- Color Palette – Think classic black and crisp white. Those staples are the denim of the fashion world.
- Accents – Gold, and a splash of other colors, inject a little sparkle into the otherwise plain canvas.
- Fit – Comfortable enough to wear while doing a tiller throw or simply chilling at a café.
Who Inspires Their Style?
When you ask who gives them their vibe, the answer is simple: dancers, artists and DJs. They echo the rhythms and beats that actually line up with street culture, making a brand that’s vibrantly attainable for all.
Why Singapore Ruled Their New Home
Singapore’s city‑scape is a canvas of neon and graffiti; the brand matched that with its own mix of vintage feels and contemporary streetwear. The result? A crowd‑pleaser that doesn’t need a luxury tag to command attention.

Meet SBTG: From Sneaker Vandal to Streetwear MVP
Ever wonder how a brand name can have an epic origin story? SBTG’s name actually spins off from the owner’s street‑wise alter ego, “Sabotage.” Back in the day, Mark Ong earned that moniker when he stole the spotlight by winning a Nike sneaker design contest. Talk about making a splash!
Step One: Step‑Up Shoe Customization
Mark’s first gig was all about turning plain kicks into works of art. He was so good that athletes like Mike Shinoda and even Kobe Bryant slid into his studio for bespoke designs. Even shoe shops across Japan were calling to ask him to create a handful of shoes exclusively for them. The world’s sneakerheads found a reliable mastermind—no cape required.
From Shoes to Apparel: The Big Leap
- After teaming up with both footwear and fashion names, Mark pushed SBTG beyond collars and laces.
- His apparel line’s bold, intricate patterns scream “unique” and “one‑of‑a‑kind.”
- Think of it as sneakers meeting street style—minus the shoe‑sole.
Where Are the Fans?
While the brand is proudly homegrown, the majority of loyal customers live up North—in the US. That’s a clear sign: locals, your love is still under‑the‑radar, and it’s time to give it a shout‑out!

Depression: The Unisex Revolution Making Waves from KL to Paris

The Visionaries Who Dared to Be Different
Kenny Lim and Andrew Loh were never pulled out of a fashion classroom. Instead, they met in the buzzing world of advertising—where deadlines were tight, and creativity was king. Their shared frustration over stifling work lives sparked a concept that would become a brand name with a punch: “Depression”.
Why “Depression”? The Story Behind the Name
Overwhelmed by routine, the founders felt a twinge of melancholy at their day‑to‑day grind. Rather than hide that feeling, they turned it into a rebel anthem for apparel—a reminder that art transcends gender and moods.
Where to Find the Collection (and Why You’ll Love It)
Everything you need to know about Purchasing:
- Sects Shop (the home base of Kenny and Andrew) carries the brand along with heavyweights like Rick Owens and More Than Dope.
- Shopping here is not just buying clothes—it’s participating in a community that values authenticity over agenda.

Meet Vanessa Han: From Student Projects to Streetwear Stardom
Vanessa Han was a semester‑long creative traveler in college, hunting for the next big idea to pop onto a tee. She teamed up with a friend, but the two fell short of creating a hit design. Undeterred, Vanessa decided to roll up her sleeves and dive solo into the world of apparel. That bold jump launched Cruddy – a label that’s as playful as it is fresh.
Why the Name “Cruddy”?
Guess what? “Crud” (or “cruddy”) usually means messy or sloppy. But Vanessa’s first collection takes that word and tosses it with everything bright and cheeky. Think splashy colors, quirky graphics, and a vibe that’s got the same rebellious edge you hear about in streetwear legends.
Streetwear: The Real Deal
- Not just “messy” – it’s full of humor, boldness, and energy.
- Colorful pieces that become pop‑culture staples.
- Can be surprisingly lighthearted while still sending a statement.
With Cruddy, Vanessa shows that streetwear is less about grunge and more about creativity. Stacked on bright prints & swipe‑of‑fun vibes, it’s a soft spot for anyone looking to add a splash of joy to their wardrobe.
