tÈodore MATA
CREATIVE DIRECTOR AND HEAD OF PHOTOGRAPHY & MEDIA
San Francisco — Los Angeles — Paris
Téodore Mata, an emerging avant-garde fashion label headquartered in San Francisco. Head of Photography since its debut runway show, Scraps, followed by BP2, Interlude, and most recently Files in which I’ve gained the opportunity to establish my role as the label’s Creative Director. I oversee the creative vision of the label’s projects regarding event planning and visual marketing. I work executively alongside Teo Mata, the founder and designer, Jules Roberts-Hansen as Co-Designer & Lead Stylist, as well as Jakob Vavrock for Art Director and Head of Graphic Design & Merchandising. Applying skilled use of interdisciplinary arts through music, printing, and technology, I support the development of the label’s innovative concepts and ensure projects are satisfied from start to finish.
With Jakob Vavrock as right hand, Vavrock and I maintain cohesive structure among the label’s visual aesthetics. We delegate principle photography, media team assignments, lighting, and runway design. I monitor all project timelines of photography and creative marketing strategies. I communicate closely to our internal team, models, and other creatives to nurture and guide the community within Tèodore Mata.
