Achievement
Kyle Ng is the Japanese-American designer and visual artist at the helm of Brain Dead, the cult-favorite streetwear brand he co-founded. Previously, he found success with labels like Los Angeles-based outfit Farm Tactics and AXS Folk Technology, the latter of which allowed him to perfect his own blend of classic sportswear and forward-thinking fashion. In the past couple years, he has helped reinvent graphic prints in the clothing world and beyond. He is highly influenced by the punk movement, and is a “self-professed scholar of subcultures and art.” A jack-of-all-trades figure, Kyle is also the host of ‘Social Fabric,’ an award-winning travel series that examines the intersection of the global fashion, art and counter-culture scenes.
