Justin Chew X NESTWO – ‘Art is not a crime, the crime is your state of mind’

14

Art is not a crime, the crime is your state of mind.

This quote deems true, especially in Malaysia. Yes, some may disagree, but we’re talking about the masses here. Graffiti is a form of art but most consider it a crime, a form of vandalism, or just plain wrongdoings of hoodlums. Only a smidgeon appreciates the spirit of these cheeky artists. The rest doesn’t even give a damn about art.

Gift and Curse

NESTWO explains that this quote means that there is always bad in something good. No matter how gifted you are, there’s a long journey of struggles you have to brave in order to reach your destination. Simply put, being gifted is also a curse.

Remember a few months back when Justin Chew showcased his FW14 collection (The Evolvement) inspired by the 90’s hip hop movement during KLFW? He collaborated with local graffiti artist, NESTWO aka Edmund, to produce some of his pieces. This time round, the two are back with this typographic sweater for those who support this form of art. The back of this sweater has the quote ‘Art is not a crime, the crime is your state of mind’ while the sleeves have the quote ‘Gift and Curse’.

The two invited some of the biggest names in the fashion industry to give support for their collaboration. Jane Chuck aka Chuckei, Evangeline and Cherrie of Duo Gigs, TTFGA; photographer, PR expert; Jiman, Ethan Chu of Streething and even our very own editor, Bryan ‘Botak’ Chin. Graffiti artists, Kenji Chai and Cloak and graphic artists, Ana Senthil and Raeesa were present in this cause as well.

Priced at RM169, the sweater is available on this 27th September. Be sure to attend the launching at Thisappear as well as LLL+ at 12pm!

“Because the TRUTH is we don’t give a f*ck about your opinion.” – HKHF

Just as this Johor based brand’s name portrays, their clothing are made not just for anyone but specifically for those with rebellious blood running through their veins.  This time round, the campaign is entitled “Worldwide Bullshit Inc’. The two shirts are called ‘Devil Ain’t A Lie’ and ‘WorldWide Bullshit’. Rude as they are, they stand for something righteous. Similar to a one-way mirror, people are not who they seem to be. They could be full of bullshit. So this campaign says it all.

Sneak a look at their lookbook below : –

As usual all their releases are very limited in quantity, so be sure to get your hands on the release from Rebirth Store or through their Facebook or Instagram.

Native Instructions – ‘Ruder Than You’ Lookbook

tumblr_nbrwqhbyGk1qcnqy8o2_1280The Johorean brand Native Instructions have abandoned all linguistic rules for their latest collection “RUDER THAN YOU”.  For your information, in case you’re wondering, the word “RUDER” does not exist, but the brand thought it sounded cool and went ahead with it anyway because Native Instructions is a brand that never exist to abide nor to please. The collection is a prime example of how the brand really is, rebellious, different, and most of all cool.

The brand explains in their lookbook that although rudeness can seem pretty harsh, annoying and just out right inconsiderate, rudeness is a form of true honesty and one of the most sincerest form of expression of how a person feels, and nothing beats sincerity. Check out the full lookbook below:-

Native Instructions also just only launched their brand spanking new website, so if you’re looking to get in touch with your inner rudeness, cop the collection from the website here.
