Pinstripes & Power: Mýa’s Muehleder Moment

When a true icon steps into a piece you designed, time slows down. Singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress Mýa—a pillar of late-90s/early-2000s R&B whose voice and visuals shaped an era—graced the cover of Scorpio Jin Magazine wearing the Muehleder Kehinde Suit Dress, and our studio just about levitated.

Who is Mýa?

Mýa is one of the defining voices of contemporary R&B and pop. Since her 1998 debut, she’s delivered chart-topping hits and culture-moving visuals, from “Case of the Ex” to the GRAMMY-winning “Lady Marmalade.” Beyond the spotlight, she’s a trained dancer and a meticulous creative who has carved an independent path with her own label, proving that longevity can be both experimental and elegant. Twenty-plus years in, her artistry continues to evolve while inspiring multiple generations.

Thoughts from the Designer:

“I must have been no older than 9 when I was dancing with a broomstick trying to be like Mya in the ‘Case of the Ex’ music video with my friends after school, pausing and rewinding the video, trying to nail every move. To see Mýa today wearing my design on a cover is a surreal moment. I’m beyond hype.”

About the Kehinde Suit Dress

Structured yet fluid, the Kehinde Suit Dress merges power suiting with body-skimming ease. Tailored lines lengthen the frame; a sculptural zipper neckline allows for multiple attitudes—from sharp and zipped-up to a sensuous, off-the-shoulder drape. It’s a dress built for women who lead with confidence and play with proportion.

How Mýa Styled the Look

Mýa’s styling amplifies the dress’s attitude: a crisp white shirt peeking from the neckline, a painterly tie that adds a flash of color, sleek micro-sunglasses, statement gold earrings, patterned tights, and classic black heels. The effect is equal parts boardroom boss and show-stopping siren—exactly the duality we designed the Kehinde to hold.

Here’s to the music that raised us, the women who inspire us, and the fashion moments that make it all feel brand new again.
