It's been tough but we thank all of you for believing in our vision for this label. When we started , we've been told its a label that isn't for everyone but we've had so much support since then - the MASHUPTRIBE is ever-growing and we thank you for that . We've met many independent designers along this journey and have made so many new friends and realized we are all in this together and will continue to support each other - So that this generation of creatives will be a force to be reckoned with.
We ask you to reminisce with us, here's a summary of 2014 in photos :
1. Our first overseas pop-up in Tokyo ,Japan with other Singaporean designers ( couldn't have done it without PARCO next Next, Thank you PARCO for giving this platform for young designers , when the news that PARCO next NEXT was closing came , we were heartbroken but we've successfully graduated - definitely wiser and more older now - we couldn't have done it without you!!! Also thank you Daniel Boey for always looking out for us and believing in us <3 <3 ) >
2. A collab with Pioneer headphones : We got to pimp up their headphones and create a one-of a kind tee !!

4. Got ourselves stocked at Superspace !!! ( When the news of the new store opening came , we were so excited . Thank you Bobby, Sam and Gilda for getting us to be part of Superspace .
