Matte: is ideas and feelings distilled from Mariela Escalante’s lifetime and family history. Influenced by her grandparents’ unique vision of tropical modern architecture, her thoughts and stories transform into nightlife, evening, teatime, or everyday garments.
The pieces are an authentic (and sometimes romantic) result of the struggle between tradition and her contemporary modern life needs. We may find them in between the lines of dreams and reality, feminine and masculine, stillness and movement.
