King of Nothing,  (KON) Australia’s latest new street wear label, launched its much anticipated Series One collection at aMBUSH Gallery in Waterloo last Thursday, (13 May) with a crowd of hundreds turning out for the event.

Featuring live performances from Paper Plane Project, DJ Butcher and Eloquence & Truths, as well as a mini skate ramp and street skating jam supported by Westsyde, the event captured the essence of the new menswear brand and its skate, surf and street influences.
 

An inverted Hills Hoist clothesline was used as part of the display

aMBUSH Gallery’s exhibition space was transformed, with an upside down Hills Hoist clothesline providing a centerpiece for the room and a unique way of displaying samples of King of Nothing’s clothes.

Canadian Club and Little Creatures were sponsors for the event, and artist contributors to the brand had original artworks, prints and photos on display, melding fashion with art.
