Mystic Moods began long before any official project, rooted in years of collecting garments from vintage shops, flea markets, and charity rails. I never bought clothes for the sake of having more, but for the fascination of how they were made — a button, a stitch, the way a textile carried time within it. Each piece felt like a fragment of someone’s labour and memory, and I couldn’t stand the thought of it being discarded.

From that instinct grew an ethos: research as the foundation, design as translation, and making as a dialogue with what already exists. Mystic Moods is not bound by seasons or trends but guided by continuity — garments that speak of craft, mood, and care.

Today, Mystic Moods stands as the culmination of that journey, a practice of reworking the past into seasonless collections that honour the maker, the wearer, and the quiet details that endure.

With a focus on zero waste, full knitwear outfits were created directly on the knitting machine, eliminating excess fabric and offcuts from the process. Yarns were sourced second-hand, vintage, or surplus, giving each piece distinctive textures and weights while maximising resource efficiency.

Alongside the knitwear, second-hand jackets were adapted through bold alterations — including exaggerated shoulders and embroidery — extending their lifespan and reintroducing them with new character.

The work highlighted the practical potential of zero-waste methods and resourceful sourcing—principles that continue to inform the approach behind Mystic Moods.
