Fashion insiders are already obsessed with this Aussie brand:
Author:Tyler McCallPublish date:Jun 28, 2019Updated onJun 27, 2019Backstage at Matteau's Resort 2020 show, things are surprisingly calm for a first-time showing at fashion week. There's no frantic running around or shouting; there isn't even a big fuss over actress Phoebe Tonkin, who is there to walk the runway as a favor to friends and Matteau founders, Ilona Hamer and Peta Heinsen.
While the sisters founded Matteau together, they aren't even working on the same continent. Hamer is a stylist and the fashion director for Unconditional, which means she's based in New York City, while Heinsen is in Sydney with the rest of their team. The business runs on Australian time, presenting a big challenge for Hamer. "She comes home at night after being on set all day, and because evening in New York is our early morning, we do Skype, we do it all," Heinsen explains.
"The more people take their production offshore, the more people are going out of business," Hamer explains. "The factories are not surviving because they don't have the volume of work. For us, it's important. We're trying to obviously grow our scale so we can make sure they also stay in business." "There's different grades of product; you have stuff that comes from recycled fishing nets, but then the nylon yarn that you get from that is inferior to nylon yarn that is made from scratch, so you don't necessarily get as good a product in terms of the yarn," Heinsen says. "For us, it's about finding the right thing that we know is going to last, because we have very good longevity in our garments. Our swimwear can last you three seasons.
