Storytellers of Their Own: What is Streetwear?

Born in the late 1980s and early 1990s in America, streetwear emerged under the influence of hip-hop and skate cultures. This style, characterized by relaxed cuts, graphic tees, and sneakers, has become a way to express individuality. Streetwear is not just a trend but a lifestyle that celebrates individuality and prioritizes freedom...

Streetwear is more than just a style; it’s a way of life. With oversized cuts, graphic tees, sneakers, and bold logos, this fashion isn’t merely about following trends—it’s one of the most comfortable and authentic ways to express yourself. Emerging in the late 1980s and early 1990s in the United States alongside hip-hop and skate cultures, streetwear evolved as a vital part of street culture. Young people sought a more comfortable and original style that defied traditional clothing norms, choosing casual pieces to create their own unique aesthetic. It’s perfect for those who want to look effortlessly cool and comfortable in their daily lives.


The Story of Streetwear


What makes this style truly special is how it allows everyone to tell their own story. With its sneakers, graphic tees, sweatshirts, and wide-legged pants, this trend has brought about a major shift in street culture. Designs featuring bold logos and patterns are frequently seen in this style, enabling individuals to express themselves through their clothing.


There are no strict rules or set templates—personal rules take precedence. As a medium of expression, streetwear emphasizes individuality and freedom, offering a platform where not just trends but character speaks volumes.


Streetwear at Paket Postanesi


Streetwear culture is a lifestyle that celebrates authenticity and diversity. Polypop, a brand that embraces these values, stands out as an inspiring force in fashion. Its name derives from the Greek word "Poly," meaning "many," reflecting its philosophy: "Diversity is superior to monotony." Polypop designs its products not merely as clothing but as a medium of expression, sharing this vision with a global community. The brand’s first and only store opens its doors at Galataport Istanbul, Paket Postanesi.

Polypop’s Take on Streetwear in Karaköy


The brand’s story begins with creative ideas. Concepts are transformed into silhouettes, and only the most exceptional designs make it to production. The process then moves to fabric selection, where the Polypop team works meticulously with suppliers to source original materials. Fabrics are cut, samples are prepared, and designs are finalized with print and embroidery details. The products are completed with quality control and packaging, breathing life into street style.


Polypop’s designs reflect the influence of the time its designers spent in the United States, drawing inspiration from film and music culture. With vibrant colors, striking graphics, and relaxed fits, the brand brings a dynamic, modern, and unique interpretation to streetwear.


This journey, spanning from American street culture to the vibrant energy of Paket Postanesi, is narrated by Polypop Co-Founder Sinan Kuzer. Click here to watch.
