Behind Mystic Moods

Alina Stanila — weaving stories, moods, and meaning into sustainable fashion.

Mystic Moods was born from Alina’s desire to slow fashion down and offer a counterpoint to mass production. She believes garments can act as time capsules — carrying personal stories, cultural narratives, and artistry that outlast fleeting trends.


The name Mystic Moods reflects the label’s eclectic aesthetic, shaped by working with what already exists. Stripes, florals, and unexpected textures are rescued and reimagined. If it can be saved, it will be used — creating garments alive with personality, mood, and story.


Unlike traditional labels, Mystic Moods is not bound by seasonal drops or industry calendars. Design and making unfold throughout the year, focusing on seasonless, limited styles — timeless pieces that avoid overproduction while transcending fashion cycles.


At its core, the brand is about recirculating fashion: transforming overlooked materials into something renewed, proving that waste can become beauty. It’s a philosophy rooted in respect — for the maker, the wearer, and the world we share.

Recognised for innovation in sustainability, Alina draws on experience across high-end fashion, high street retail, and vintage curation.


Mystic Moods is more than clothing — it’s an invitation to wear garments that carry memory, meaning, and mood far beyond the moment.

Past Projects

A journey through projects that shaped Mystic Moods. Each collection is both a study in fabric and philosophy — from reconstruction and zero-waste design to explorations of memory, time, and mood.

Mystic Moods

2022 - NOW

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.

Jardin des Hommes

2019

Jardin des Hommes was born from the desire to transform what was no longer wanted into something loved again. The project began with discarded men’s and women’s tailoring — jackets, knitwear, and trousers — pieces once sharp, now forgotten. Each garment was unpicked and reconsidered, its structure rebalanced and its fabric given new context.


Through this process, a collection of sixteen looks emerged: suits, dresses, and skirts that carried traces of their origins while stepping into a new form. It was not about disguising the past, but about working with it — showing that even the unwanted holds beauty waiting to be reimagined.


Jardin des Hommes remains a touchstone in the Mystic Moods journey, proof that reconstruction can be both pragmatic and poetic.
