In this series, MACCAPANI’s most inspiring women—writers, fashion icons, chefs, designers, and other extraordinary LADY MACCA—share their unique relationships with fashion and what inspires their choices when dressing for the world. |
|
For this edition of Lady Macca, we meet Tatiana Santo Domingo, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and mother moving between worlds with quiet intention. For her, dressing is less about expression for others and more about staying connected to herself. Pieces carry memory, ritual, and a sense of ease, clothes that live alongside everyday life rather than define it. In Maccapani, Tatiana finds garments that move naturally between roles and moments, including her very own Moto T.

What do you aim to achieve or express when you dress for the world?
I don’t really think I dress for the world. I dress more for myself. My aim is to be comfortable, to stay true to my style, and always feel like myself.

Is there a particular item of clothing you own that you're personally attached to? If so, can you tell the story behind it?
There are a few pieces that used to belong to people who are no longer here. One of them is a silk dressing gown from my grandmother that I sometimes picture her wearing. I love wearing it at home before bed, on lazy mornings or weekends.

|
Which Maccapani item do you feel is your favourite?
That would definitely have to be the Tats blazer, which was named after me. I love wearing it with the Easy Pant, but also separately. I mix it all the time, dressing it up and down depending on the occasion.

|
You’ve lived between different cultures and creative worlds — what does feeling “at home” mean to you today?
Surrounding myself with the people I love, and who love me.

|
What did you want your Moto T to express or capture?
I loved the idea of creating a more wintry version, since most of the Moto Ts so far have felt quite summery. I love winter and the mountains, and I spend a lot of time in Switzerland, so I wanted to capture that slightly kitsch, alpine feeling with it.

|
What kind of Lady Macca do you feel you are?
I think I’m wearing many different hats. I’m a mother of grown children — my oldest is about to be a teenager — I’m running my business, trying to be a good wife, mother, business partner, and friend, all of the elements that complete the essence of a Lady Macca. It’s very important for me to spend a lot of time with the people I love.

|
What does modern femininity look like to you right now?
I would say independence. Knowing that no matter what happens, you will be okay. I feel like many women think they need to depend on others, not only financially but emotionally. But I actually think we can make things happen on our own. We are stronger than we think.
