Mataano
Mataano which is the Somali word for ‘twins’ and it is also the name of the fashion label created in 2008 by Somali-born twin sisters – Idyl and Ayaan Mohallim. Their Spring Collection was presented last week during the New York Fashion Week at an unusual setting for a fashion show – the Museum of Biblical Art. That type of ‘Out of the Box’ thinking is bound to serve them well. Upcoming presentations of their Spring 2011 collection will be seen later this month in Ethiopia and Nigeria
