We recently sat down with the brilliant mind Mylan City the creator of upcoming brand TMF. He let us know the concept of why he started TMF. What new projects he has coming out in the future. So check it out
Who
are you and what are you all about?
-I am Mylan City, and I created the
brand, T.M.F.
Were
are you originally from?
I'm from L.A.
How
was T-M-F created?
-As far as the brand, the idea
started in my dorm room in New Orleans. Just talking with my Harlem ji,
Tre. Left school, cameback to L.A., and just started developing and executing
the line.
How
did you come up with the name T-M-F?
-It has a few meanings outside of
what is perceived from the clothing line. As far as the brand name, it
just hit me when I was in my dorm room.
What
type of fashion do you like?
-It varies, nothing in particular.
Different looks resonate for me. Anywhere from vintage
Polo/nautica/tommyhil, high top Af1's, adidas campus 80's, t by alexander wang
t-shirts, bape, jerseys, … Man, I don't know, it differs how I feel at the
moment. But something light.
What
clothing lines do you look up to?
-I don't look up to any clothing
line. I just like pieces. I do respect Tommy Hil and Polo for the lifestyle
feel they integrated with their clothes.
Who
motivates you?
-Not just one name. So many, I fuse
elements of different things. Definitely Life/Culture. I enjoy
enlightening myself on sub cultures especially in the hip hop/urban community.
What
are some of your favorite clothing stores/catalogs/websites?
-Favorite online clothing store, T-M-F.US. lol
had to plug that up. As far as websites I be on Itsbx.com, worldstar,
upnorthtrips, complex, rapradar, hoopshype, some tumblrs, all that…
What
do you believe makes a quality article of clothing?
-Numerous variables. Could be
the quality of the fabric or design aesthetic. I think mostly bringing an
item to life, giving it cultural appeal, and having it stand for something.
Basically, having something that resonates with the consumer, and they wanting
to be apart of a lifestyle you created.
Do
you prefer sketching designs or actually constructing them?
-It's a random process, mostly build
from my mind for some time, and then go into illustrator.
How
do you feel about celebrities getting all the free goodies when they are the
people who can afford the goodies?
-I mean, get it how you live.
Everybody has a formula that works for what they doing. I don't throw
shade on how people try to enhance their grind. For my brand, I
definitely try to look out for the people first.
What
is your favorite piece of clothing you have dropped?
-I try not to stay content on one
design, because I always feel I got something crazy in the works. But I do
appreciate the l/s tee I created "A Skreet Classic" just on the
memories and feel it brought while dropping it and pushing the tee.
Do
you have anything new coming to the people in the next few months?
-Ya, got a couple new tees and hats
dropping in a couple weeks. After that getting the A/W pieces dropping. Just
trying to keep progressing, and transcending the brand, but keep the same
element.
Any
last words for the people?
-Peep the site T-M-F.US and follow the gram @tmfintl. Thanks
for the interview and everybody that has supported, T.M.F.
