Maria José Germano was born in Salerno, Italy, her roots go back even further South, to Calabria and Honduras. Maria José was her grandmother’s name, which as a child the designer shortened to Mati but kept her gentle yet resolute spirit.After having graduated from the Institute of Marangoni in Milan, her first experience as a designer was at a fast fashion brand. She soon realised this wasn’t how she envisaged fashion and went in search of greater responsibility in the production process. A time workingat a Berlin atelier followed, and upon her return in Italy she collaborated on a ‘Made in Italy’ leather goods label and in Milan worked with a designer tackling waste reduction.Mati started her own label because she wanted it to fully represent her principles. Harmony, purity, transparency and mindfulness. To fashion something that looks more like her and evolves with her.
