What’s cookin’, good lookin’? Following the success of our first-time limited edition sneaker drop, KFC Singapore is launching a collection of stylish apparel in collaboration with one of Singapore’s award-winning designers, Thomas Wee. And this time, in the form of brand-new on-fleek uniforms for every member of the KFC family.

More than a sartorial overhaul, the launch of KFC x Thomas Wee is a tribute to the phenomenal people who built KFC to what it is today, and an appreciation of their individual roles, contribution, and dedication to excellence every day.

With the launch of KFC’s new uniforms, we hope that every one of our KFC family members will feel the pride and appreciation that we have for them. Because it’s all about being our best selves and so that we can make a difference   Lynette Lee, General Manager of KFC Singapore

Designed and created by Thomas Wee, the new uniforms mark the first time that KFC will be collaborating with a local fashion designer on such an endeavor, as well as the first time Thomas Wee will be designing for a local F&B brand in almost 40 years of his illustrious career. As opposed to the previously standard uniform of a red dry-fit polo tee, this latest venture boasts not one, not two, but four different types of designs that cohere with each KFC crew member’s role and responsibilities so that you’ll know who to look for when you’re dining at KFC. In addition, all designs were thoughtfully crafted to maximize peak comfort and functionality for every member of the KFC family.

I was inspired by KFC’s show of appreciation for every single one of their staff members and this translated to my approach to the designs. I wanted to create a collection of uniforms that will look smart on every one of the KFC team, regardless of gender, age, skin tone or size. I hope the new uniforms will boost the morale of the service team and allow everyone to feel confident and excited to wear them in the day-to-day! Thomas Wee, veteran designer

What’s more, in conjunction with the launch of KFC x Thomas Wee collaboration, we are working with KFC crew members and local visual artist Izzraimy, co-founder of the Island Boys Collective, on a photoshoot that celebrates our diverse KFC family.

Pop over to check out these uniforms in action in all KFC outlets across Singapore come July, while tucking into your favorite finger-lickin’ good chicken!
