Hustlers Reunion brings together creatives for a panel discussion on brand building. Featuring panelists Afiq Rezza of Yunos N Family, Klingsmen of Classified Footwear, Tze Ling of SecondNatvre and Ginette Chittick, the discussion is moderated by Jonathan Fong and Dexter Tan of Sole Superior.

Street and automotive culture collide

The highlight of the event is a competition that merges the design sensibilities of Singaporean creatives with the emerging presence of automotive culture in street art. Inspired by collaborations like Stussy x BMW, Arsham Studio x Porsche and Fragment x Maserati, the competition invites event vendors to extend their brand’s vision to Tamiya Mini 4WD car kits. Their creations will be on display throughout the two-day festival and on September 22, artists from RSCLS will determine the winner of the challenger.
