Meet Matthew Harris and his cult jewellery brand

Sat, 04 Sep 2021 02:05:28 +0000

It’s no secret that the world of fine jewellery is a traditional one. The same established houses have been dominating for over a century – which doesn’t leave much room for innovation – but new brand on the block (by comparison, anyway) Mateo NY is shaking things up with its unique approach to design.

Don’t mistake that to mean the label’s jewellery is trend-led: these are forever pieces. “Timeless but wearable and modern,” founder Matthew Harris tells us about Mateo’s aesthetic. No wonder he’s secured the likes of Net A Porter, Matches Fashion, Browns and Farfetch as stockists globally; and his trademark pearls – cultured, one-of-a-kind and never twee – have adorned the likes of Bella Hadid, Kerry Washington, Gabrielle Union, Vanessa Hudgens, Yara Shahidi and Ava DuVernay.

Just over a decade ago, Simone Rocha was graduating from Central Saint Martins with a fashion design MA, where she was mentored by the late professor Louise Wilson, and was preparing to debut on the London Fashion Week calendar. After showing as part of Lulu Kennedy’s fashion talent incubator Fashion East, the Irish designer stepped out on her own. International stockists including Dover Street Market, MatchesFashion and Bergdorf Goodman were spellbound by her romantic designs rich with contrasts and juxtapositions, and New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art inducted one of her dresses into its collection.
