These 10 creatives have rocked the boat, challenged expectations, and shaken up the system. Here, we’re given a peek into the daily lives of these disruptors and what continues to drive them. 

Bryan Tan (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/xbryantan" target="_blank">@xbryantan</a>)&nbsp;is part of the genius curatorial mix behind local multi-label store Surrender that&rsquo;s responsible for the influx of alternative and street-leaning fashion brands in Singapore. Fans of brands with the like have the young talent to thank for bringing in these brands.

I handle all operations and branding related matters in Surrender. I make sure everything runs smoothly and the family stays cool.&nbsp;

A lot of the emerging brands are referrals. It&rsquo;s a blessing that we have friends worldwide and that&rsquo;s mostly how we curate. It&rsquo;s a business but it&rsquo;s also important to have fun. This energy will then transfer to our customers through our merchandise and the experiences we offer. They thus become a part of Surrender too.

I first got introduced to fashion when my dad, being the fashion victim that he is, started buying me Dior Homme jeans back in the early 2000s. Since then, it&rsquo;s been a channel of expressing who I am and how I feel. And what&rsquo;s not to like in the business of having to look good everyday?

We are constantly looking for emerging brands. To me it&rsquo;s an advantage that we&rsquo;re championing brands even before they widely known and bringing in freshness to Singapore.

I respect designers with concepts that are original.
