Rated R Hawaii Presents PatchWERK!

Rated R Hawaii is a Hawai‘i-based streetwear brand focused on upcycled design. Founded by designer Ryan and husband Nathaniel Whittaker, the brand merges fashion with community, and an awareness to sustainability through its practices and use of materials. RRH transforms secondhand and discarded materials, bringing new life to each garment. PARASITE! will be the brand’s third full collection, following On The Haunt in 2024 and Apex in 2022. Rated R Hawaii is primarily sold online, releasing new drops every Friday; as well as participating in local vendor pop-up events on the island.

MYXX is an alternative fashion brand redefining edgy aesthetics through a bold, queer lens. Emphasis on clean lines and tailored silhouettes, each MYXX garment is a custom-made, one-of-a-kind creation. The brand’s latest collection, Cyber-Cordz, shows its commitment to sustainability by upcycling locally sourced materials into sharp designs. With a focus on individuality, expression, and ethical fashion, MYXX offers a distinct style while maintaining sustainability. 

Kikinis is a slow fashion brand that specializes in swimwear and custom night life attire. Each piece is made to customer measurements to minimize waste and ensure a perfect fit. Inspired by the life around us, everything is 100% produced on O’ahu with love and intention. All swim is made from recycled nylon/spandex and the garments heavily incorporate the use of second hand clothing. Kikinis aims to create unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that last a lifetime.

Aloha Hooker started as a way to share that joy of finding creativity, and has grown into a space for custom, made-to-order crochet that celebrates individuality. Most pieces are free-handed or based on evolving patterns, offering one-of-a-kind designs you won’t find anywhere else. Aloha Hooker believes crochet is for everyone, regardless of size, style, gender, sexuality, or background. Aloha Hooker's mission is to craft confidence, one stitch at a time.

The Wardrop Shop (n) noun: a portmanteau, or a word formed by blending two or more words combining their sounds and meanings, to quite literally mean “You Wore it, so drop it, to shop it.” The Wardrop Shop is a collective born in Oahu in 2023 with sustainability as the intent. Through clothing swaps, meet ups, and frequent markets, owner Jordan Cabrera provides the public with a chance to ethically exchange their clothing with each other to prevent unnecessary textile waste in landfills and returning brands back to the market. Emerging as an upcycle textile designer, this is Jordan’s first fashion show featuring inspiration from her daily life on Oahu.
