FANS of hip street fashions are welcome to visit the Hangout Round 5 at the Skate Park near the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium, where several local streetwear labels are currently showcasing their designs and creations.
Open from 10am to 9pm, Hangout Round 5 is also offering some workshops on the art of spray-painting, skateboarding and longboarding.
Muhd Nur Rahmat Ubaidillah, the event organiser and founder of streetwear label Kraytion Company, told the Sunday Bulletin that the project is intended to raise the profile of local streetwear vendors, along with more awareness of the creative arts scene.
Regarding the growing interest in street fashions, he said, “At the first Hangout in 2014, there were only six vendors. The number grew to 20 in the third round, and there are now more than 40 vendors at this year’s event.”
On what inspired him to start his own label, he said, “I used to spray-paint, which was how I became interested in streetwear. My company Kraytion, which sells T-shirts and caps, was started in 2014.”
He also thanked Progresif Cellular Sdn Bhd (PCSB) for its support, and plans to organise another Hangout event next year.
