The first capsule in a broader collection, expected to be revealed soon.
Summary
- Capsule includes racing jackets, oversized tees, caps, tote bags and model car
- Inspired by Smokey Nagata’s Top Secret legacy and reimagined by Beer Baiyoke
- Launches August 31 at Carnival Siam Square Soi 7
Carnival has once again joined forces with Top Secret, the legendary Chiba-based tuning house helmed by Kazuhiko “Smokey” Nagata, to unveil a new capsule collection. Launching August 31 at Carnival Siam Square Soi 7, the drop draws from Top Secret’s racing heritage and Carnival’s streetwear identity, reimagined through the lens of Beer Baiyoke. The partnership pays homage to Nagata’s era-defining Skyline GT-R R34 while reinterpreting the spirit of Japanese tuning culture for a new generation.
The collection includes racing jackets, oversized T-shirts, tote bags, caps and even a model car — all showcasing Carnival’s signature design sensibility infused with Top Secret’s motorsport DNA. By blending performance heritage with contemporary fashion, the collaboration reflects Top Secret Thailand’s creative-driven approach and Carnival’s reputation for curating standout, culturally relevant drops. It’s a meeting point of precision engineering and bold streetwear that bridges Japan’s tuning legacy with Thailand’s evolving creative scene.
“We’re really excited about this launch — it’s another time we’ve partnered with Top Secret, but what makes this one special is that it’s the first time we’re featuring Beer Baiyoke’s artwork alongside his iconic RX-7 cars. The capsule really brings together our shared passions for cars and culture and we can’t wait for people to see it,” shared Carnival founder Anupong “Pint” Kuttikul in a comment to Hypebeast.
A spokesperson from Carnival shared that this latest release is only a small capsule that is part of a larger “full-scale” Top Secret collection set to be revealed soon.
