Designers of Song For The Mute, Melvin Tanaya and Lyna Ty.

Heading back to their Australian roots, they chose to show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia this time around. The fall/winter 2014-15 Song for the Mute collection, entitled “GREY” is filled with alpaca/wool blends and also debuts some of their unique paraffin and resin coated fabrics, perfect for protection against blustery fall weather. The designs were dark and practical, with some useful outwear.

Each model had a streak of white paint running through his hair, giving the collection a warrior feel. This was tied into also sporting white high top shoes.
