Lovesick Collection by Mudguard
The sold-out drop that defined emotional storytelling through streetwear
What made the Lovesick collection by Mudguard so unique?
The Lovesick collection by Mudguard wasn’t just another clothing line—it was a raw, unfiltered expression of emotion. With 17 unique shirts, each design captured the complexity of heartbreak, self-expression, and longing. The collection channeled emotional chaos into wearable stories, cementing Mudguard’s belief that clothing is a form of freedom.
From bold sketches to handwritten typography, each shirt carried a message. But nothing made more impact than the three best-selling Lovesick tees featuring the crying eye. These pieces sold out within days and have now reached cult status—never to return.
The story behind the crying eye – a symbol of inner struggle
The most sought-after pieces in the Lovesick collection by Mudguard all featured a simple but powerful motif: a single eye with a teardrop. It represented the balance between strength and vulnerability—an emotional state that’s often hidden in everyday life. Through bold outlines and minimalistic art, the design resonated deeply with those who wear their heart on their sleeve, literally.
These shirts became more than fashion; they became personal statements. And that’s exactly what Mudguard stands for.

Capturing the vibe – The Mudguard photoshoot in Breda
To bring the collection to life, we took to the industrial heart of Breda. Against a backdrop of concrete, rust, and raw textures, we shot the collection with a diverse team and two iconic vintage cars: the Burton and the Renault 8. Their classic aesthetic gave contrast to the oversized, expressive silhouettes of the Lovesick collection by Mudguard.
The shoot didn’t just reflect a mood—it amplified the message: fashion should be free, expressive, and deeply personal.

The deeper meaning behind the designs
Every shirt in the Lovesick collection by Mudguard was born out of a personal narrative. Whether it was the “Portuguese Lady” inspired by a Lisbon street singer, or subtle hand-drawn notes referencing real journal entries—each design carried weight.
As highlighted in the blog Portuguese Lady – The story behind the design, Mudguard transforms experiences into garments. The Lovesick collection by Mudguard was no exception. It gave people a chance to wear emotion and share untold stories.
Why it sold out—and why that matters
We don’t believe in mass production or restocks. That’s what makes Mudguard different. The Lovesick collection by Mudguard dropped once—and once only. With just 17 designs, and no reprints planned, every shirt became an artifact. Missed it? Then you missed a moment.
But don’t worry, there’s more on the horizon.
What’s next after the Lovesick collection by Mudguard?
Lovesick was just the beginning. We’re not stopping at t-shirts. Expect drops featuring:
- Custom-designed caps
- High-quality socks
- Durable and bold bags
- Shirts in new colors
- And more oversized pieces built on stories, not trends.
Every piece, like everything we do, will be a statement. And it’s up to you to decide what that statement says.
