MISBHV SWEATERS

At age nineteen, Warsaw-based designer Natalia Maczek began customizing t-shirts and sweatshirts for her friends under the moniker MISBHV. Now a fully-fledged ready-to-wear label lead by Maczek and creative director Thomas Wirski, MISBHV exudes the youthful energy and DIY sensibilities of Maczek’s original designs, bringing together disparate elements of pop and subcultures to form a uniquely and distinctively post-Soviet aesthetic. Aiming to straddle both the worlds of streetwear and luxury fashion, the Polish label’s experimental designs boast artisanal quality and premium European-sourced textiles. Deconstructed t-shirts and oversized hoodies featuring tongue-in-cheek graphics reference iconography of decades past, while the brand’s reconstructed denim and leather biker jackets elevate streetwear staples with avant-garde construction.
