Carhartt Vs Stussy

- Fate is decided by God but destiny is the path you choose to get there -

Well, I guess I have to admit I am a big sucker for these 2 brands. Of course Stussy might have a bigger influence here in Singapore due to the fact that it was here for quite sometime and Carhartt, only managed to set foot here officially last year after a collaboration with Crumpler. Carhartt merchandise could be seen floating around at some shops in Far East Plaza sometime back but the choices were very limited. Thanks to the concept store located at the basement of Heeren, a wide vairety of Carhartt stuffs are now available. Not to mix them up with the U.S. edition of Carhartt, the ones in Singapore belongs to the street fashion series and can be found in the Carhartt Europe sites. Being around the street scene for sometime and sponsoring various sports events, Carhartt clothing has definitely gain a strong respect both in street fashion aspect and also a reputable brand. Although the Singapore store does not carry the full range of clothing, it is still a call for celebration for having these awesome clothing in Singapore. While Carhartt is so much more recognised in Japan along with Stussy and other street brands, the collaboration with Bathing Ape has made the brand gained an even stronger foothold in the street fashion scene. So please go visit your local Carhartt store for a piece of garment that has almost a 120 year history.

Stussy, I guess most people would already have known all that I am about to say. Afterall, which kiddo of the street fashion scene have not heard of this brand. What started out as a humble Shawn Stussy signature scrawned across T-shirts and surfboards have emerged to a brand with international recognition. And in Japan, Stussy supposedly have their very own in house designers...and my recent trip to Japan, there were like more than 50 ppl queueing up outside the Stussy Outlet in Odaiba before the new Winter line was launch. Now that is really a strong following...hopfully here in Singapore, we have followings like this and probably have a loyal and ever growing population who supports street fashion. Maybe someday we might just have our very own in house designer for Stussy as well. So let me end this post by saluting to all the international recognised local designers who have believed in their dreams despite all odds, SBTG in particular.
