With many of their customers being some of the most popular stars in the world— Lil Baby, Steve Aoki, Tyga, and Trippie Redd to name a few— the stacked denim brand has been a hit in the music industry.

New York City, NY — Streetwear brand AKINGS launched a pop-up runway interactive experience in their Midtown Showroom. The New York Fashion Week experience included customers, celebrities, and influencers who showed up to shop the new collection and participate in recording their first-ever virtual runway walks styled in their new collection.

Akings is best described as “clothing that makes you feel like a king,” said founder Alan King. The Asian American designer initially created clothes for himself because he was tired of wearing hand-me-downs that did not fit him.

First up on HBO Max’s The Hype cast list we have Alan King.
