They recently launched an online store
How did Maatano Come about
In late 2008, after years of dreaming about starting our own collection, we took a bold step together, launching Mataano (translated as “twins” in Somali), and developing a platform from which to express our vision and bring forth our creations to the marketplace.
How They Fuse Cultural With Everyday ManHattan Lifestyle in their designs
Our design aesthetic is always influenced by the intermingling of cultures. We are a product of Somali and American heritage, so it is important our designs reflect that. We design for the multi-cultural woman, and are inspired by the global village.
What Inspires their designs and what they're designs are reflecting
For us, designing is an expression of who we are as women. It can be the simplicity of a Somali Caftan or the detailed intricacies of a ball gown. We design for the international woman who doesn’t know where the day is going to take her.
Being interviewed on CNN and having the opportunity to be on Oprah, How it affected the brand name; Positively / Negatively?
All Press is positive press. Being on Oprah and CNN has given us the national credibility that will bring Mataano to the forefront in fashion. We are well on our way to making Mataano a recognizable name in the fashion industry.
