The New Era of Streetwear with Rivington Roi Rebis and Saint Mxxxxxx
Today’s evolving fashion landscape, Rivington Roi Rebis and Saint Mxxxxxx represent a new wave of streetwear that blurs the lines between high fashion and underground culture. Both brands have quickly gained attention for their distinctive aesthetics and philosophical underpinnings.
RIVINGTON roi Rebis
Rivington roi Rebis, also known as RRR123, is a streetwear brand founded in 2019 by Rivington Starchild. The brand is heavily influenced by Starchild's experiences growing up in New York City and living in Los Angeles, blending urban aesthetics with bold graphics and oversized silhouettes.
The name “roi Rebis” refers to "the king of opposites," symbolizing the merging of dualities, a nod to alchemical concepts where opposites combine to create a new, unified entity.
Recently, the brand partnered with Fear of God by Jerry Lorenzo for a special capsule collection called "INRI." This collection blends Fear of God’s signature minimalism with RRR123’s streetwear edge, resulting in a compact lineup that includes hoodies, T-shirts, and jeans.
SAINT MXXXXXX
Saint Mxxxxxx, also known as Saint Michael and Saint Mx6, is redefining modern streetwear by blending vintage aesthetics with high fashion sensibilities. Founded in 2020, the brand emerged from the collaborative efforts of Yuta Hosokawa, known for his eco-conscious brand READYMADE, and Cali Thornhill DeWitt, a multidisciplinary artist famous for his merch designs for Kanye West. Together, they aimed to create a distinct streetwear identity that merges art, sustainability, and cultural references.
Hosokawa’s influence on Saint Mxxxxxx stems from his passion for recycling and repurposing vintage pieces, a philosophy that also drives READYMADE, which he launched in 2013. His design ethos emphasizes sustainability by giving old materials new life. DeWitt, on the other hand, brings his artistic experience from various fields, ranging from photography and music to visual art, solidifying Saint Mxxxxxx’s position as a cultural force in streetwear
Saint Mxxxxxx has quickly gained recognition through high-profile collaborations. Notable partnerships include work with brands like Neighborhood, BAPE, Denim Tearsfurther…. establishing its place within the luxury and streetwear scenes
Recently, they’ve been making waves with an exciting collaboration with Cynthia Lu’s Cactus Plant Flea Market. This latest capsule focuses on Public Enemy, the iconic ’80s hip-hop group, integrating their rebellious spirit into the collection.
Their latest collection, a multifaceted project, brings together four collaborators: A LOVE MOVEMENT (their first-time partner), alongside longtime collaborators like Ghost in the Shell, Kosuke Kawamura, and LASTMAN. The result is a collection that includes vintage-inspired designs, repurposed materials, and bold graphic elements
By continuing to innovate and work with global icons across fashion, anime, and art, Saint Mxxxxxx is shaping a new era of streetwear that resonates with a wide audience. This bold trajectory promises to influence the future of urban fashion.
