The Kin Collective: For Creatives. For Culture. For Kin.
We’re putting a call out to all budding designers, illustrators and artists who want their work to be seen, worn, and celebrated.
This is your opportunity. The Kin Collective is our way of opening Millsy & Kin to fresh talent — a platform where your designs don’t just sit on social media, they become real products, worn by real people, living as part of the culture.
Why We’re Doing This
At Millsy & Kin, we don’t chase trends, rip logos, or pump out AI mashups. Everything we do has to mean something. That’s how the brand was born — from nostalgia and the moments that shaped us: the Sunday Top 40 on the radio, the buzz of your first gig, playing out until the streetlights came on.
And let’s be honest: because of the timing of our launch, Millsy & Kin has been very Oasis heavy. We probably always will be. But we’re not just about Oasis — we’re about the whole culture of growing up in the 80s and 90s. And we plan to still be here long after the reunion tour ends.
That’s why The Kin Collective matters. It’s how we grow beyond one band and give space to new voices, new ideas, and new stories.
What We’re Looking For
Original artwork with a nod to:
-
80s & 90s nostalgia — mixtapes, Walkmans, Saturday jobs, corner-shop vibes.
-
Britpop & indie culture — the bands, the fashion, the swagger.
-
Everyday growing up — Sunday Top 40, chip shop teas, football in the street.
-
Streetwear minimalism with meaning — bold, clean, timeless.
❌ What we don’t accept: fake logos, band names, copyrighted stuff, AI-generated fluff. If it’s not yours, it’s not for us.
What You Get
If your design is chosen:
-
£50 payment (no chasing royalties, no faff).

You get paid + credited — and your design is launched in-store.

The Kin Collective isn’t just a project. It’s a movement. A way of making sure the designs we wear still carry heart, history, and meaning.
