ABOUT

Mykes Lab is a clothing brand specialising in one-of-a-kind, handcrafted garments. The brand combines artisanal techniques to create slow made, unique garments that echo nostalgia and DIY culture.

I started Mykes Lab in 2019 as a space for myself to experiment in. Viewing it more an artistic project than a clothing brand at the time, my idea was to bridge the gap between painting and fashion. How could I make these pieces wearable, but also expressive, unique and more akin to a work of art?

The solution, of course, was to make each garment one-of-a-kind with a hands-on process that is incredibly difficult to reproduce. Geared with a paintbrush and a lot of ideas, I started transforming my wardrobe. Soon people noticed and would ask me to decorate their garments too. Seeing the art spread at the time, I realised that these imperfectly painted clothes soon became cherished items in peoples' wardrobes and held a lot of memories and stories.

Five years later, Mykes Lab is still a solo project, and all the garments are handmade by me in my London studio. My mission remains the same - to create garments that tell stories and enrich your everyday experiences.
