Whether you're drawn to fashion trends, stylish outfits, or simply aesthetic photography, chances are you've come across MAO.GE at least once. For years, MAO.GE has been a beloved street-style platform for fashion enthusiasts. Behind this brand are two friends, Isabella and Makuna, whose shared passion for fashion has brought together tens of thousands of followers.
Makuna: I didn’t spend much time thinking about the name - my love for Japan led me to it, and I knew right away that it had to be MAO. MAO means "black cat," a symbol of perseverance, determination, and success. The name truly lived up to its meaning, and today, MAO.GE is one of the most influential fashion blogs, extending beyond just the Instagram space.
Isabella: I joined MAO.GE shortly after it was created. Makuna and I were once discussing blogs—back then, they were an emerging trend. During that conversation, she suggested that we run MAO together. Looking back, I believe our collaboration has been a great success.
When MAO.GE was just taking its first steps, the founders could never have imagined that it would grow into a source of inspiration for so many people.
