1. Gemsy

Gemsy is a local contemporary streetwear brand established by a group of friends who share the same love and passion for street fashion. Their apparels are inspired by Chromatic Aberration – the failure of a camera lens to focus on the same point; creating a blurry and distorted effect.

They offer unique designs that are of top quality and comfortable. Most of their apparels are minimalistic, which allows you to focus on the details on the t-shirts. For the ladies – they have their designs on crop tops too!

2. Playhood

Playhood is a homegrown label founded by Sarah Lai, which started as a service to provide custom hand-painted designs on denim jackets. Today, they have expanded their focus towards apparels now. Sarah wanted to combine fashion and art together to create a wearable work of art, thus bringing together her love for streetwear and botanical floral illustrations.

Many of Playhood’s apparels are designs with botanical flowers but with a tougher edge. So ladies, if you want to look girly and badass at the same time, this is perfect for you! What’s more – you can even customise your own jackets!

The best part is the cutting of the oversized T-shirts, which has a very flattering cutting that fits all body types!

This is the brand for you if you’re looking for local streetwear with an international appeal. Be sure not to miss out on the brand’s classic oversized T-shirts which you can easily pair with any denim bottoms!

5. TheToxicFriendsCo

A local brand established in 2017, the apparels at TheToxicFriendsCo are inspired by global streetwear trends which dip into Singaporean pop-culture. The label is founded by Brendan Kor, a university student, who wanted to challenge the boundaries by breaking the western hype brands, incorporating oriental influence, while doing some social commentary.

Their designs are heavily focused on the oriental aspect and local scene of Singapore. Even their brand name, The Toxic Friends Co, was adapted by the common lingo “toxic” that youngsters use. The apparels are unique and aesthetically pleasing, but the most important thing – they will not break the bank!
