Song for the Mute
Song for the Mute is a Sydney label founded in 2010 by childhood friends Lyna Ty, creative director, and Melvin Tanaya, brand and managing director. Collections are structured as narrative chapters and driven by fabric development, with rediscovered mill techniques and treated, washed finishes applied to oversized tailoring, workwear-derived outerwear, quilted jackets and heavy knitwear in muted, earthy palettes. The label runs an ongoing footwear and apparel partnership with adidas Originals and opened its first flagship store in central Sydney in September 2023.
