About MELNNEM

Fashion has always been a great way in which we identify ourselves. Letting the world know who we are without speaking a word. It gives us a sense of belonging within our communities — marking our tribes. Every piece consciously and unconsciously picked. We rely on it to advocate while sharing our stories, thoughts, truths, and interest — to bridge the gap between us and the spaces we navigate in this world.

Consciously Connecting and Communicating.

Each of us has a story that involves this; often neglected yet appreciated article of clothing: The t­-shirt. Whether new or old — vibrant or faded. We've worn them to events, went for late-night rides, been handed down, or even accompanied us to bed. You find space for it in your closet & drawers, and find others like it to take up even more space, as you should. It is your voice when you feel voiceless — when your words never seem to be enough. It makes a statement, and it carries weight and covers you. It tells the world this is ME. It makes you feel vulnerable, and it damn sure makes you feel proud. It always finds a way to make sense.

Here at melnnem™, through our statement-driven apparel, and our explorations of the intersections of language, fashion, and identity — we hope to provide Black people a brand of bold, powerful pieces—allowing you to wear your thoughts, love of self, an ode to your culture, on your tee. Fashion is Art — Art is Activism. Make a statement; start a conversation.
