Rebooting Retro: ixi:z Returns to Singapore
If you grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s, the name ixi:z will likely wash over you, even if just the sound “ick‑sees” rattles your memory. It may not be a household word now, but that infamous Japanese brand was a staple of the street‑wear scene back when Fubu and Alien Workshop were making their mark in Asia with those legendary ultra‑baggy pants.
The Iconic Accessories of Yesteryear
Picture the brightly coloured velcro wallets and sleek pencil cases that were the envy of secondary‑school students across the country. They were so coveted that even students who didn’t own one still felt a secondhand buzz from classmates and older siblings flaunting them proudly.
In its heyday, ixi:z even established a flagship on Beverly Hills’ famed Rodeo Drive, underscoring just how out of reach those luxury prices were for the average teenager back then.
Counting on the Nostalgia: Singapore Relaunch
Good news for the fans and the ones itching to relive those feels: the brand is reviving its flame in Singapore after almost a 40‑year hiatus. The new store will open its doors on December 14 at Mandarin Gallery.
What’s on the Menu?
- Attention to streetwear: T‑shirts and hoodies tag‑team the lineup.
- Les artistes de création, Eugene Ow Yong, promises a drop of “fan favourites”—though the classic wallets are on pause for now.
