Renowned Singapore designer and co-founder of Song+Kelly, Wykidd Song, was known for putting Singapore’s name on the international fashion platform with the first Singapore Ready-To-Wear brand sold at internationally renowned stores such as Harrods, Selfridges, Barneys NYC, and more. But after the label closed in 2007, he left the country to pursue other creative interests, which included designing the APEC leaders’ attire for the Singapore Summit 2009. When he returned to Singapore, he felt inspired to create AKINN - a new platform where craft, design, and human stories converge. Wykidd Song and James Chua, Founder of GERMS & GERMS Creative Capital talks about the new label.
