Song for the Mute featured image

Song for the Mute

Australia · Est. 2010 · Luxury

Song for the Mute is an Australian luxury designer label for men and women, founded in Sydney in 2010 by Lyna Ty and Melvin Tanaya. The childhood friends bring complementary skills: Ty, an Italian-trained fashion designer, leads design as creative director, while Tanaya, an award-winning graphic artist, directs the brand. The label began with a single printed T-shirt, and its core idea has always been that garments should communicate something meaningful. Its debut collection, Ink, for autumn-winter 2010, comprised just eight styles. Since then the label has treated each season as a chapter in a long-form story, creating coats, jackets, shirts, knits, trousers and T-shirts with relaxed, layered silhouettes. It has worked with local Australian manufacturers since its first T-shirt, and its clothing is made in Australia. Fabric sits at the core of its design, with an experimental, textile-led process that blends streetwear influence with careful craft and long-lasting quality. Song for the Mute presents its menswear on the Paris fashion calendar. Its adidas Originals collaboration launched in 2022, when its Shadowturf sneakers sold out in about ten minutes, and it has since opened a Sydney flagship and a store at QV Melbourne.

France · Est. 2023 · Luxury

Facettes Studio is a minimalist French designer clothing label for women, founded in Paris in 2023 by Marie-Laure Dumon. A Paris-born designer with around ten years of fashion experience, including six in New York, Dumon set out to redefine the modern, timeless wardrobe without compromising on durability. Her signature style is masculine-feminine, with structured yet fluid designs inspired by the 70s and 90s that can be worn from morning until night. The label focuses on tailoring, including blazers, tuxedo-style jackets, trousers, waistcoats, skirts and dresses in wool flannel, wool twill, gabardine, cotton velvet and washed linen. Pieces are designed in Paris and made in France by Atelier Masla, a workshop in the 18th arrondissement, and by carefully selected workshops in the Paris area. Facettes Studio upcycles existing deadstock fabrics from French and Italian luxury houses, with natural fabrics woven in France, Italy or Japan, and bans synthetic fibres such as polyester and polyamide. It works in small editions rather than seasonal collections, with some styles offered on preorder to avoid overproduction. Working without intermediaries, the independent label skips seasonal sales and welcomes customers to its Paris studio by appointment.

Uruguay · Est. 2016 · Luxury

Tach Clothing is a Uruguayan designer knitwear label for women, founded in Uruguay in 2016 by sisters Sabrina and Patricia Tachdjian.

Lady White Co. featured image

Lady White Co.

USA · Est. 2015 · Mid-range

Lady White Co. is a minimalist American designer clothing label for men, founded in Los Angeles in 2015 by Phillip Proyce. Proyce previously worked at the denim brand Rising Sun Jeans, and launched Lady White with a single product: a tubular-knit white jersey T-shirt. The brand describes its approach as "an uncommon approach to familiar classics", shaped by its view of American aesthetics. From that first tee, the collection has grown into everyday sportswear, including Our T-Shirt, the Athens and Municipal tees, rugby shirts, raglan thermals, heavy gusset crewnecks, hoodies, polos, button-downs, knitwear, jeans and outerwear. It also sells caps, socks and a selection of photography books. Everything is made in the USA. Lady White's custom jerseys and fleeces are knitted locally from domestically grown cotton and sewn by family-owned factories within ten miles of its design headquarters in Los Angeles. That locally made production gives the label close control over fabric weight, fit and finishing, and lets it develop its own knits rather than buying stock fabric. The result is a tightly edited range of natural-fibre basics designed for everyday wear and long use rather than seasonal trends.

Folkcharm partners with cotton farmers and women weavers in Loei, many of them over 50, giving them flexible work on their home looms.
