[Watch] 1664 Goes Full Hypebeast: French Beer Meets Asian Streetwear In Malaysia's Coolest Collab
Subscribe to our FREE Forget everything you thought you knew about beer launches. 1664, that smooth French brew you've been sipping, just announced they're teaming up with CLOT – yes, that CLOT, the streetwear brand that makes hypebeasts lose their minds – for what might be Malaysia's most unexpectedly cool collaboration this year. This isn't your typical 'slap a logo on a t-shirt' partnership. 1664's bringing back their popular Bon Appétit-lah campaign, but this time they're going full fashion-forward with Think French sophistication meets Asian street culture, with a side of that Through Bon Appétit-lah, 1664 brings that spirit to life, turning everyday dining into something more special and even more extraordinary, explains Olga Pulyaeva, Marketing Director at Carlsberg Malaysia. This is where French good taste meets street-smart edge, setting the scene for moments that are effortlessly cool, unexpectedly bold, and true to 1664's signature style. The Main Event: TRX Gets a Makeover Here's where it gets interesting. On this coming Friday and Saturday (13 and 14 June), 1664 and CLOT are basically hijacking We're talking: Asian-French fusion food from KL's hottest restaurants (because regular event catering is for amateurs) Live performances by local and international artists A speakeasy-style fabric store selling limited-edition merch (yes, a fabric store – because why not make shopping feel like a secret mission?) The whole thing screams 'exclusive' in the best possible way. You'll need to RSVP at (Video: Instagram/1664malaysia) For the FOMO Crowd Can't make it to the main event? Don't panic. 1664's rolling out their 'Blue Hour' experience at 30 outlets nationwide through June and July, complete with chances to win that limited-edition CLOT merch everyone's going to want. Plus, they're doing that thing where you can snag exclusive ceramic tumblers with your beer purchases at supermarkets. It's like collecting Pokémon cards, but for adults who appreciate good design. Beyond the Buzz: What Makes This Different What makes this collaboration actually interesting isn't just the hype – it's how it represents this whole cultural moment where Eastern and Western aesthetics are blending in ways that feel fresh rather than forced. CLOT has been doing the East-meets-West thing for years, and 1664's French heritage provides the perfect counterpoint. The aim was to create a product that is not only visually appealing but also tells a story of cultural fusion—bridging the East and French, says Simon Wat from CLOT, and honestly, mission accomplished. Collaborating with 1664 has been an exciting journey, and we're thrilled to offer a collection that celebrates the richness of cultural differences while elevating everyday moments. Before you get too excited, remember this is all for the 21+ non-Muslim crowd, and 1664's serious about that #CELEBRATERESPONSIBLY hashtag. Good vibes, yes. Irresponsible choices, no. Follow @1664malaysia on Now excuse us while we go practice looking effortlessly cool for this Friday. (Video: Instagram/1664malaysia) READ MORE : Share your thoughts with us via TRP's .

K-pop boyband TXT excited for Europe tour
Popular K-pop group Tomorrow X Together, also known as TXT, is making its European tour debut feeling inspired and more connected after two months away from the spotlight, its members said. The boy group's label, Big Hit Music, which also manages K-pop superstars BTS, announced in January that TXT would be taking a "long-term break" to rest and spend time with their families. This was after group leader Soobin said he was taking time off for health reasons. "It was the first time we took such a long break. It gave us time to reflect on many things," member Hueningkai said in an interview shortly before taking to the stage at London's O2 Arena for the group's first UK performance on Tuesday. "I think it actually brought us closer together and allowed us to think more about ourselves as a team and artists," added Hueningkai, whose hiatus highlights included a family trip to South Korea's resort island of Jeju, good food and a visit to Japan with friends. Six years on, they have won over a loyal fanbase, known as "MOA", short for "Moments Of Alwaysness", with their pop rock sound and hits including Blue Hour, Sugar Rush Ride and 0X1=LOVESONG (You Know I love You), featuring South Korean singer Seori. Their album Minisode 3: Tomorrow ranked as the 10th best-selling album of 2024 globally, according to recorded music industry body IFPI, which also placed TXT seventh on its Top 10 list of global recording artists of 2023. The European tour, which kicked off in Barcelona, Spain, on March 20, also takes the fivesome to Berlin, Paris and Amsterdam. Fans are in for a spectacle, the members said. "It's a really colourful and diverse set list, so I think it will be really fun for the fans. There are solo stages that we haven't shown before," Hueningkai said. Reuters
