MISBHV

HOW DID MISBHV BEGIN?

During a summer break in between studying law, Natalia Maczek went to London for a job and fell in love with clothing. It was after this experience that she began making parody designer T-shirts for her and her friends to wear to parties that co-designer Thomas Wirski was throwing in Warsaw. Eventually, she started to sell the clothes online and set up a showroom at Paris Fashion Week in January 2015 to show their pieces as an official brand.

WHAT SETS MISBHV CLOTHING APART?

Maczek and Wirski’s often gender-neutral garments are unique in part for their manufacturing techniques and cultural background. All of the fabrics used come from top quality European sources (Italian lamb for leather jackets and Portuguese wool for coats) and all final products are made in Poland. Throughout every collection, Polish history is woven into the fabric of the garments—often leading to references from the Communist, pre-1989 era of the country’s past.

Heading back to their homeland, MISBHV has their first runway show in Warsaw’s Palace of Culture and Science to debut the Spring/Summer 2019 collection.
