Mykes Lab creates custom, hand-illustrated garments. Based in London, I upcycle clothing with hand-drawn imagery, transforming past garments into distinct, one-of-a-kind pieces.

I started Mykes Lab in 2019 as a space for myself to experiment in. Initially, I saw it more as an artistic project than a clothing brand—my idea was to bridge the gap between painting and fashion. How could I create wearable pieces that were also expressive, unique, and felt more like works of art?

The solution, of course, was to make each garment one-of-a-kind through a hands-on process that's difficult to replicate. Armed with a paintbrush and plenty of ideas, I began transforming my own wardrobe.

When people started noticing and asking me to decorate their clothes too, something clicked. Watching the art spread, I realised that these imperfectly painted clothes were becoming more than just garments—they were becoming personal treasures, each with its own story.

Five years later, Mykes Lab is still a solo project, with all garments handmade by me in my London studio. My mission remains the same—to create garments that tell stories and enrich everyday experiences. Each piece still starts with me, my materials, and a sea of ideas.
