Early on in his career, Mateen worked with a few high end avant-garde labels, most of which focused on edgy fun free spirited garments. Through this he developed and incorporated his design aesthetics to create MK Vendetta.
After successfully launching his own resale brand in 2012, Mateen mostly focused on mainstream fashion production/ buying which lead to the broad understanding of the industry and its impact on the environment.
After several years of researching production methods, combined with developing his own skills, Mateen launched MK Vendetta in December 2016. The label which stands for affordability, ethical sourcing, production and a sense of community has been a passion project for him ever since.
Although small, in the short time since MK Vendetta launched it has had the honor of working with numerous celebrities, been featured in magazines, films, TV shows and publication for it's design and concept.
