GRAB EM' STREET LABEL'S THREADS ! // FourthySecondsClothing.

Think Topman is so overated nowadays ? UCB is highly pricey ?

So get your damn local independent threads now ! If clothing labels were to be bands , it's best described as ' bigger than The Beatles , Cheaper than the pirates ' . harharhar . get what i mean , folkss ?!. ;P

Anyways , today's entry is going to be about our local independent fashion industry . Which is better known as the street wear culture which is kind of the in thing nowadays among those artsy fartsy 'cool' indie kids . As for the past 2 years , the Malaysian local music scene has been standing side by side the clothing scene to co-operate among themselves , supporting each other to bring up both the scene that has been quite a let down before this . Why is it a let down ? . The scene hasn't been supported by any form of govermental body which results in the run down of the music scene , only after both of the enforcement ( those music and clothing kids ) started having gigs and events going all scattered around the country , the scene was brought back to live . Thanks to the guys , today , some certain events held by them are now supported by the rakan muda and any other form of governmental body . Now , Malaysia has been quite a hotspot for all kind of people to come and experience good street culture !


Ending the history ! Let's move on to the label . : ) . Here today , i would like to introduce you folks to one of the clothing label that has been around in the region since last year . Eventhough they're not that famous YET . We'll be reviewing them anyways . Cos i can easily get the infos of the label . Cos Eugene the Fat is one of the founder ! hahahaha ! ...
With this , i'll leave you folkers to the ...

Fourthy Seconds Clothing label !

ROCK THE WORLD WHATTTTT ?.

Yeah , you have got your eyes readin'some reality here ! ..

I know we maestros are wondering since last year on where the heck RTW ( rock the world ) is . It WAS supposed to be held annually , but nobody knows the reason for last year's lost . Honestly , 2007 was kinda sucked for me just because RTW wasn't held. Was missing the muddiness padang of that Stadium Merdeka , the frantic crowd while Republic of Brickfields played , the sweets The Times gave their fans as a token of appreciation ( i think it was hacks or something they threw a bag full to the crowd ) . And hell yeah i remembered that crowd surfing chick who got her boobs grabbed . Sumpah , tak tipu . Hahaha . Anyways , it really was a musically blast i had on that day . I know we waited the whole year for 07's , and it was a letdown ! because they didnt have it last year . But what the heck , im more than happy that they are going to make it happen this year . Therefore folks , who has got no idea what this is about , or people who anticipated this event of the year , Polaryde.zine reviews ROCK THE WORLD 9 !

So , here goes .

Polaryde.zine , an independent online blog-cum-magazine (also known as an e-zine) founded by Nicholas Mark Pereira and co-founded by your very own fat ass Eugene mathew . It's an original idea of setting up a platform to promote and support anything that goes with our local scene , particularly the youth , which includes ; the music , sporting , education , fashion , or God's will , even the political aspect aswell . ( but we ain't want em' ISA officers to come pay us some visit , ain't we ? haha ) .

From our local top billboard artists to succesful entrepenuers and individuals , Polaryde.zine is here to give its best providing articles and reviews to fullfil the needs of boosting up the excitement of our present youths to participate and altogether , to be united .
by setting this sort of independent platform for our local homegrown artistes to spread their wings , we in the other hand will try our best to expand our media into the foreign regions and to be hold them of our local scene , and stop ourselves from the tantalization to be known far out into the international .

As for everything stated is to be done , come and faithfully support us . You are our frontliners ! YOU can make it happen !

Rgrds ,

Nicko and Eugene .
