Melvin Tanaya and Lyna Ty’s foray into womenswear for their label
Song for the Mute is every bit as experimental and minimalist as you’d expect. Take this dress for example. Whipped up in a blend of cotton and silk, it’s stitched together with the contrasting sleeves detached, an asymmetric skirt and raw edges and hems to reflect the label’s undone mood. Slip it on with chunky lace-up boots, we say.
