Toni Maticevski is one of the most talked about names in Australian fashion. With his signature manipulation of traditional fashion silhouettes and use of beautiful materials, the range marks a desirable departure from conventional couture.Paula Abdul & Toni

Maticevski's parents migrated from Macedonia. He grew up in Seddon, an inner-western suburb of Melbourne with a sizable Macedonian community supporting him all the way through his career. The Macedonian community is very grateful to have a very well-known and successful designer blooming at the top of the fashion industry.
Maticevski studied fashion at RMIT University graduating with First Class Honours. After graduating he won a Fashion Group International Award resulting in a placement with Donna Karan in New York. He shockingly turned down an extended position at Donna Karan, deeming the power house creatively draining. Matičevski left for Paris to work two seasons at Cerruti and returned to Melbourne in 1998 to launch his own label. In 2002, he won Best New Designer at the L'Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival with his debut demi-couture collection. The same year saw his preliminary participation in the Mercedes-Benz Australian Fashion Week spring and summer collections. Most recently he was tied with Kit Willow for the 2005 Prix de Marie Claire Best New Designer award.
