Lukas Romano
Lukas Romano – Visionary. Student. Creator.
At just 18 years old, Lukas Romano is already laying the foundation for something bigger than fashion. A first-year student at York University, Lukas is studying Communication & Media with a concurrent focus in Education, combining creativity with purpose.
Born and raised in Canada—his home and native land—Lukas always dreamed of launching his own brand. MNTR (Made North Threads) is the realization of that dream, built on authenticity, resilience, and national pride.
Like many young Canadians, Lukas has faced his share of challenges, including ADHD and anxiety. With the unwavering support of his biggest mentor—his mom—he learned to turn those obstacles into strengths. MNTR is more than a fashion label; it’s a mission-driven movement to give back, inspire, and mentor.
Every MNTR piece is 100% made in Canada, reflecting Lukas’s belief that premium quality and purpose can go hand in hand. His vision extends beyond clothing: he's currently seeking collaborations with Canadian universities, mental health organizations, and mentorship programs to create real, lasting impact for youth navigating similar paths.
This is just the beginning. Lukas Romano is building a brand—and a community—that’s Made to Inspire.
Community Roots — Recognized in Our City
MNTR was built on community — and our community saw it before anyone else did.
In 2025, co-founder Lukas Romano was recognized by the City of Vaughan for his leadership, creativity, and commitment to empowering youth.
Standing beside the Mayor and City Councillors, Lukas represented what MNTR stands for: purpose, mentorship, and using your voice to make a difference.
This moment became a reminder of why MNTR exists:
To lift young people up, to create real impact, and to lead with heart.
Where MNTR took its first steps — together.
MNTR in the Community
From concerts in the park to youth-focused events, our journey has always been rooted in real people and real moments. These gatherings remind us why MNTR exists — to uplift, empower, and bring community together in meaningful ways.
