Founded in 2010 by Melvin Tanaya and Lyna Ty in Sydney, the brand emerged from a focus on textile innovation. Ty serves as the creative lead, sourcing custom fabrics from specialized mills in Japan and Italy. Song for the Mute gained international recognition for its deconstructed silhouettes and collaborative projects with global entities like Adidas.
