Ahead of his highly anticipated New York Fashion Week debut on September 12th, Twitch superstar Kai Cenat is making a high-stakes entry into the luxury fashion landscape. To launch his new streetwear brand, Vivet, Kai plastered New York with billboards, following months of preparation that reportedly included studying garment construction in Italy, making appearances at Paris Fashion Week alongside image architect Law Roach, and securing a personal co-sign from Chrome Hearts founder Richard Stark.
The aggressive campaign has divided the internet into two distinct camps. While the “Kai Mafia” and supporters praise his rollout as a masterclass in modern luxury branding, critics and internet skeptics dismiss the hype as an overpromoted influencer merch line.
