Concept

Fashion and art project MyLostUncle - MissingSince1979 a.k.a. MLUMS79 was founded 2013 in Helsinki, Finland.

Since 2018 MLUMS79 has been based in Bristol, UK.

The concept is a colourful mix of fashion vandalism and the art of personal freedom. This independent brand is specialized in printed clothing; especially in allover print patterns. - Its garments and fashion pieces will look good on any human or just hanging in a walk-in wardrobe like luxurious arty-farty made of mathematically continuous digitally printed material.

Print designs are inspired by the 1980-90s, photo copied club flyers, working class wallpapers, bizarreness of motherland in the Northern Finland or abandoned oddness at the moors in the UK, popular culture, queer and gay icons. - And all this supporting the human and animal rights.

Lately MLUMS79 has spread print designs more into the art scene in collaboration with DJ and Artist Tatu Vuolteenaho. Their project Eye-Leen Print has been showcased and promoted in art galleries, night clubs, Vogue ballrooms, magazines and on human beings in Spain, Greece, USA, UK, Australia, Estonia and Finland. There is more to rise in 2025-26 e.g. exhibitions and pop-ups within the communities and galleries which happily chose to show the joy of our work.
