Rooted in streetwear pioneer Earn Chen’s love for archival fashion, The Salvages grew from an e-commerce platform into a label when designer Nicolette Yip joined. With a subversive approach to design, the Singapore-based brand fuses fashion and culture using punk, new wave and alternative rock motifs from the 1980s and 1990s. The label’s sneakers, graphic printed tees and sweatshirts enjoy a cult-like status for their authenticity and historical gravity through Chen’s prominence in the birth of Singaporean street fashion in the 1990s.
