The Swagger Salon was founded in 2010 and has managed to pique the attention of Malaysian youngsters by incorporating the tag ‘LANSI’ into their design. ‘LANSI’ became a trend among many Malaysians because of the local slang which meant “cocky” or “stuck up” in Cantonese.

“It has expanded beyond just housing the LANSI collection, creating new original lines Taikor and NSFW (Nice Shirt for Work) and selling a range of t-shirts, jackets, workwear, and accessories, in addition to the now notorious LANSI caps. The LANSI brand has since sold out all of its releases, been featured on national TV, censored on national TV, bootlegged by pirates, and established itself as the leading streetwear clothing brand in Malaysia.” – The Swagger Salon
