CREATIVE, SMART CLOTHING for SMART, CREATIVE PEOPLE
Signature neuroscience designs created by our community of artists, dressing you for work and casual adventures with playful, polished style.
You know the stereotype, science is supposed to be serious.
Objective. Buttoned-up.
But spend enough time in a lab or a lecture hall, and you’ll start to see the truth:
The people pushing the edges of discovery are also neurologists sketching in notebooks, researchers moonlighting as musicians, and surgeons with off-duty style that transcends scrubs.
Science isn’t short on creativity. It’s full of it.
Synaptex Studios was made to reflect that.
We design clothing for the intellectually curious and creatively inclined.
Not just brilliant minds, but expressive ones. Nerdy, energetic, joyful, stylish ones.
Because being smart and being cool? Not mutually exclusive. Never were.
Inspired by a Streak of Purple and a Bold Skirt
It began on an escalator at a neurology conference, where founder, Dr. Erica Austin, spotted a woman with a violet streak in her hair and a bold, elegant outfit that defied the traditional academic mold. It was a glimpse of what style could look like in science, and the beginning of a long-simmering idea.
From envisioning EEG readings as fabric prints to dreaming up neuron-lined cardigans and dresses, Erica kept returning to one thought: smart people deserve smart clothes. Playful, expressive, pattern-rich pieces that reflect the creativity pulsing beneath the surface of every bright mind.
Synaptex Studios brings those daydreams to life with a community of talented artists.
Where Science Dresses the Part
What you see now are vintage and vintage-inspired neuroscience illustrations as placeholders, a nod to the anatomical origins behind the brand. Inked with precision. Meant to inform.
But what’s coming next is something else entirely.
The real patterns are being created by a collective of artists interpreting neural structures, brainwaves, and synapses through their creative lens—turning EEG readings into trim details and synapses into repeating motifs.
These aren’t novelty prints. They’re garments with structure, story, and intent. Every piece in the collection will feature a pattern drawn from fundamental neuroscience, paired with considered silhouettes and clean lines. The kind of thing that looks smart because it is.
This is the prelude. The full collection is on its way.
