Youths in Balaclava
Singaporean fashion collective Youths in Balaclava (YIB) reject staid cultural images in order to create clothing that champions liberated self-expression. Founded by a group of high school friends, YIB has since expanded into a roster of diverse creators united by a passion for punk aesthetics and DIY design. Known for infusing their collections with political observations, the brand is committed to ideological and artistic provocation. Grunge-inspired cargo trousers and shorts recall Y2K-era raves and summers spent in skateparks, while graphic t-shirts and branded hoodies nod to beloved band merch. Outsiders whose bold approach and idiosyncratic influences have attracted a global following, YIB creates garments for the revolutionary-minded and invites us all to join the winning side.
