NATHAN MARIANO
Nathan Mariano Da Hora began inserting himself in the fashion world from a young age, kicking off his career modelling for friends’ projects. This glimpse of the fashion industry developed Nathan’s passion for the self-discovery that other areas of the industry provided. Inspired, Nathan took the leap and chose to pursue a professional career in the fashion world.
Studying fashion co-ordination and styling, Nathan was able to create lifelong connections with professionals he wouldn’t have met otherwise. Nathan’s studies brought him a brotherly bond with Matheus Alves, and their contrasting experiences opened up new ways of seeing the world. These connections catapulted him further into his career, as everyone shared a similar desire to grow and learn from each other. Amplifying his vision of fashion, Nathan decided to study fashion production and learn more about the process of creating and releasing projects. This experience launched him into creative direction and stylist positions, all while modelling for friends and brands.
His connection to Matheus Alves led Nathan to meet Vinicius Stratikopoulos at an event in São Paulo. Forming a bond with one another, they assembled a creative team to work in various areas in the fashion sector, with their main goal being participation in Fashion Week 2025 in Europe. Enzo, Bruno, and Leo joined Vinicius and Nathan on the creative team, igniting a drive in everyone to stay proactive in reaching their goal.
As a Brazilian native, Nathan's number one dream is to represent his culture in Europe and make lasting creative connections with industry professionals. Collaborating with brands, the uniqueness of Brazilian fashion can fill a gap in the industry, creating something new and fresh in the fashion world.
At just 26, Nathan has carved his own path in the industry, one that will only lead to more opportunities in the future, creating a name for himself as a multidisciplinary creative. Still finding his footing, Nathan consistently expresses gratitude for his opportunities to travel and share his love for fashion.
Being forced out of your comfort zone and overcoming new challenges daily presents you with not only the opportunity to grow creatively but to learn more about yourself personally and professionally. The creative industry demands authenticity and newness. Each step taken, no matter how small, will propel you toward something much greater. It opens doors not just for yourself but for other passionate individuals who may not have had the same privilege.
