"
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING ME FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS WHY KUALA LUMPUR AS THE STARTING PLACE OF CLOT’S ASIA EXPANSION.
I THINK THAT THIS CAME AS A SHOCK TO MANY PEOPLE AS WE
COULD BE ANY WHERE IN THE WORLD BUT WE ARE HERE IN KUALA LUMPUR.
THERE IS A LIST OF REASONS WHY WE THINK KUALA LUMPUR IS THE
BEST PLACE FOR OUR ASIA EXPANSION,
BUT I THINK THERE IS A COUPLE OF KEY REASONS
WHY WE THINK ITS THE PLACE TO BE.
FIRST AND FOREMOST, THIS IS GOING OUT TO THE FANS THAT EXIST IN KUALA LUMPUR
FOR OFFICIAL CLOT PRODUCTS. I THINK AS FAR BACK AS I CAN REMEMBER
WE HAD A BUNCH OF REALLY DEDICATED FANS COMING OUT OF THE REGION.
A LOT OF SUPPORTERS THAT WE WANT TO REACH OUT TO AND
SHOW OUR SINCERITY AS WELL. KUALA LUMPUR IS SLOWLY
BECOMING A PINNACLE OF ENERGY I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS,
THEY GOT THE TWIN TOWERS WHICH IS THE TALLEST BUILDING IN ASIA,
AND WE ALWAYS LIKE TO PUSH THE ENVELOP AND
GO WHERE NO OTHER BRAND IN OUR CATEGORY HAS BEEN TO.
SECONDLY, AS THE WORLD ECONOMY IS CONTRACTING,
MALAYSIA IS STEPPING UP, EVERYWHERE AROUND
THE WORLD HAS BEEN HIT WITH A RECESSION AND
MALAYSIA HAS BEEN HOLDING IT DOWN WITH GROWTH.
THIRDLY, MALAYSIA IS NEIGHBORS TO TERRITORIES SUCH AS THAILAND,
SINGAPORE, AND PHILLIPINES WHERE THE SCENE IS MATURING AND
I THINK THIS CAN DRIVE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE AREA TO GO TO MALAYSIA.
WHEN WE FIRST OPENED IN HONG KONG EVERYONE
THOUGHT THAT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE AS WELL, AND WE ARE ABOUT TO DO IT AGAIN.
MALAYSIA IS A PLACE WE ALL LOVE AND EMBRACE SO
WE ARE HOPING YOU WILL ALL EMBRACE US ALSO.
WE ALSO PLANNED SOME SPECIAL PRODUCTS FOR THE OPENING,
THE CAP THAT WE DESIGNED IS SPECIAL MALAYSIA COLORWAYS OF RED AND BLUE, THE COLORS OF THE MALAYSIA FLAG.
WE LOVE THESE COLORS AND DESIGNED A CAP THAT IS FADED RED AND BLUE.
MIXING THE COLORS FOR CROSS CULTURAL FLAVOR.
AS FOR THE T-SHIRT. WE MADE A SERIES OF T-SHIRTS THAT INFLUENCED
US DURING OUR GROWTH, KEY ICONS SUCH AS MAO, OBAMA,
JESUS, AND PRINCESS DIANA ARE ALL FIGUREHEADS THAT
INFLUENCE US, AND BECAUSE MICHAEL JACKSON IS THE PERSON
THAT WE LOVE TO HATE, ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE INFLUENCES
OF POP, HIP HOP AND R&B STEMS FROM MR. MJ. JUST LIKE THE
IDEA OF OPENING IN MALAYSIA IS VERY LEFT FIELD,
WE THINK IT FITS PERFECTLY FOR OUR NEXT STEP OF EXPANSION WITHIN ASIA.
SO WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I THINK THIS IS
A PERFECT SPOT FOR OUR CONTINUED EXPANSION,
WE WILL NOT STOP AT MALAYSIA BUT WE THINK THIS IS THE
PERFECT PLACE TO EMBARK ON OUR JOURNEY. SO IF YOU RIDE
WITH US, PLEASE LEAVE US A MESSAGE TO KEEP OUR PASSIONS
GOING AND TRUST ME AFTER YOU SEE THE STORE AND THE AREA
YOU WILL REALIZE THAT ITS REALLY FRESH…
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PARTICIPATING IN OUR JUICE KL OPENING,
AND LIKE THE KLCC WE WANT TO SHINE BRIGHT AND TALL,
OPENING DOORS FOR THE FUTURE….
SEE YOU ALL ON THE 20TH. AND HOLLERBACK IF YOU HEAR ME!"
