ABOUT MYL BERLIN
WHO WE ARE
MYL BERLIN was born in the heart of Berlin in 2018, founded by designer Sebastian SK.
We believe that fashion is more than just great design but exquisite craftsmanship, and it can carry a message and has the power to evoke change.
We are not just a fashion brand; we are a movement. Brought to life from the pulsating heart of Berlin Techno Culture, we stand at the intersection of Fashion, Craftmanship, attention to detail in design and a deep-rooted commitment to empowerment, diversity, and sustainability.
Our creations are more than mere accessories; they are declarations of identity, expressions of freedom, and symbols of unity.
Redefining Norms.
We see fashion as a playground for challenging and reinterpreting societal norms. MYL BERLIN strives to create a sanctuary for those confined by the rigid boxes of modern society, offering a space where definitions are fluid, and identity is celebrated in its myriad forms.
WE ARE MYL – A FAMILY OF LOVE
Encapsulating our belief in unity and acceptance and the power of love. We want to prove that together we will reach the mainstream and will show the beauty of our community and every single individual no matter what.
“We won’t be erased or hidden. We are not trash. We are MYL”
Reclaiming the word “Müll” - affirming our defiance against marginalization and our celebration of visibility and pride.
WE ARE MYL
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We envision a world where fashion is a medium for expressing.
We are building a future where wearing MYL BERLIN signifies more than style it signifies a shared belief in values; it represents a commitment to a more inclusive, empowering and united world.
Wearing MYL BERLIN signifies Empowerment through Fashion. We believe in the exhilarating force of diversity and the beauty of expressing one’s true self. MYL BERLIN is a testament to the strength found in solidarity, aiming to redefine traditional constructs and celebrate every individual’s unique story. Our vision is to craft not just pieces of fashion, but Armor of confidence for those who wear them.
Sustainability is deeply ingrained in our philosophy. We utilize materials often discarded by others, such as the “saddle leather layer,” known for its natural longevity and water repellent features but harder to process. This approach not only addresses issues of waste but also challenges in the sustainability domain, this commitment extends through our entire production process, ensuring our creations are not only beautiful but responsibly made.
with love, the myl berlin team.
Our back story
Founded by Sebastian SK, MYL BERLIN rose from a vision to a vibrant reality, driven by the conviction that fashion holds the power to evoke change. Our journey has been one of relentless passion and perseverance, navigating through challenges and skepticism to carve out a niche that resonates with a message of equality and love. Inspired by the vortex of Berlin’s nightlife and the rich tapestry of its artist scene, our collections are a tribute to the city’s dynamic spirit.
MYL BERLIN is a brand that stands for empowerment and the celebration of diversity. The name “MYL” is a reclamation itself. It’s the phonetics for the word “Müll” which translates to “trash” in English. The choice of this name has a profound significance. It was chosen because our community have often been insulted as “trash” just because they had a different lifestyle, looks, or in some way different from the norm.
This reclamation of the word is a powerful statement against marginalization and a celebration of visibility and pride. It’s a testament to the brand’s defiance against societal norms and its commitment to inclusivity and diversity. So, when you hear MYL, it’s not just a brand name, but a symbol of solidarity and a call for change. It represents the brand’s mission to break stereotypes and show that some “rules” or “standards” set in the past can be replaced and are out of date. Why? Because your MYL item is hot, and you love it and u know what? You can reclame and redefine and be proud became Wearing MYL BERLIN signifies more than style and great fashion and craftmanship; it stands for a commitment to a more inclusive and freer world. It’s a statement that says, "We won’t be erased or hidden. We are not trash. We are MYL."
We are dedicated to genderless fashion, which has been a great challenge and a continues call for change, but we see it also as a unique selling point, and we stand by it.
Our genderless designs aim sometimes to provoke a thought or a conversation, always embracing diversity in the backbone of it, facing challenges from societal norms and expectations around gender categorization in fashion.
This has been a journey of self-doubt being faced by many oppositions but also self-realization and understanding the power of fashion and a community and the power in the cause, from developing fitting patterns, bad or good press and proving yourself to fight for a cause and engage with customers and wholesalers in new ways and spreading the word – showing how “normal” inclusivity is and how strong fashion and unity can be!
