AFC Flagship | SONG FOR THE MUTE
Sydney designers Song for the Mute (SFTM) revealed a unique immersive concept space based on the narrative of their latest collection, ‘19.2 Hunter’.
A long-form story. A male and female cast. Seasons as chapters. Never one the same. Narratives told with exceptional fabrics and experimental process. Founded by Melvin Tanaya and Lyna Ty in 2010, Song for the Mute is the result of a long-term creative expression between two lifelong friends.
Translating the themes of the collection into specific sensory experiences – through sight, sound, touch and smell - Song for the Mute worked in conjunction with creative collaborators to bring the first installation of its kind to The Rocks, which opened to the public for five weeks.
Presented by the Australian Fashion Council (AFC) as part of the ‘AFC Flagship’ initiative, the space on George Street gave the brand an opportunity to explore a new retail experience outside of their flagship store in Glebe.
The AFC recommends immediate funding to undertake a nationwide review of current, emerging and future TCF manufacturing occupations and match occupations to the ABS ANZSCO codes.
The AFC recently launched the Victorian TCF Manufacturing Report and convened a manufacturing roundtable in Victoria, with Honourable Minister Natalie Hutchins in attendance. The event brought together leading AFC manufacturer members to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing Australian manufacturing.
