When the term ‘graffiti’ is mentioned, what are the thoughts that come to mind? Is it radical art? Rebellion? Hip-hop culture? Vandalism? Street culture? Graffiti is deemed a controversial subject until today. From being hidden under bridges to being celebrated as high art, public opinion is changing with the times as graffiti plays a new role in society.

In the past, graffiti was a way of leaving inscriptions behind. Now graffiti is recognised as an art, a medium for graffiti artists to deliver their message. The graffiti artists of Malaysia have contributed a lot to the scene, both locally as well as internationally. Good Times is honoured to introduce our A/W 2021 collection, ‘Under the Bridge’, a collaboration with Kenji Chai – one of the renowned names in the graffiti scene. Kenji has extended his unique style of graffiti to our latest collection, making his artwork wearable and functional.

Applying our modus operandi as we have for all our previous collections, this collection entitled ‘Under the Bridge’ is also inspired by music, movies and culture and then extended to clothing. The song ‘Under The Bridge’ by Red Hot Chilli Peppers, echoes the frontman – Anthony Kiedis’ time when he experienced deep solitude and alienated himself through his own struggles. The message of the song loosely relates to graffiti, a previously misconceived form of art.

This collection features black and tones of grey as the main colours, representing how graffiti is often created when the sun is down. The details are in fluorescent colours to echo graffiti which are conspicuous in a dark environment.

This collaboration includes a two-way nylon ripstop explorer shirt, a tactical vest, two-way climbing pants, 2 pocket tees, a nylon ripstop 5 panel caps and a 16oz Nalgene wide mouth bottle.
