What to know about Tyler McGillivary

In-house prints drive every collection

Design starts with self-developed prints and saturated color, pulled from sources like cartoons, vintage furniture, folklore, botanical catalogues and science fiction.

Womenswear, not menswear

This is an independent Brooklyn womenswear label built on dresses, skirts, knit tanks and, more recently, polos, run by its self-taught namesake designer.

Small label on the NYFW calendar

Still founder-owned, it debuted on the New York Fashion Week schedule with Fall 2025 "Date Night" and followed with Spring 2026 "Mermaiden"; a 17-piece Desigual capsule came in 2024.
