Song for the Mute have come a long way since their inception only one year ago, the label by Melvin Tanaya and Lyna Ty (pictured below) has gone from strength to strength. Firstly, securing Polish model Pawel Bednarek for their Autumn/Winter ’11 campaign and lookbook, Bednarek has graced editorials by Dazed and Confused. They were then announced as L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival Designer Award finalists chosen by Vogue Australia’s editor-in-chief Kirstie Clements, Myer, David Jones and last year’s winner Dion Lee. Following this Parisian Showroom Romeo will now represent the label within the European market starting with Paris Menswear Fashion Week in January.
The collection below titled ‘Milieu’ is roughly based around Lyna’s late grandmother whom supported and encouraged her to pursue her passion in designing. ‘Milieu’ which means the ‘middle’ or the ‘core’ is Lyna’s attempt to communicate her voice and feelings, how she feels, her mood and what she is experiencing and/or has experienced. This all adds significantly to the development of their concepts. To be able to portray these emotions through the form of clothing requires Lyna to develop new shapes, styles and new ways of making garments. Keeping this concept in mind, this season is more about the process of merging construction and new shapes to heighten the natural qualities of the fabric within the collection.
With the second winter range showing in Paris in January, ‘Milieu’ will be expanding out to 75-85 pieces of which For-Tomorrow will be present during the collection showing in Paris, further images of the Northern Hemisphere + Showroom are to be expected on the 20th January 2011.

Captivated by the structure of shells, Au Clair combines the delicate exterior and inner charm in pieces that find the balance between controlled drapes and textured layers.
