PARIS — Paris Fashion Week witnessed a debut show on Friday from one of the most unusually named brands in the luxury clothing industry: Matieres Fecales, which means fecal matter in French.
After meeting in fashion school in Montreal, founders Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj Bhaskaran set up their label 10 years ago in opposition to the idea of the industry as a place of beauty and aspirational consumption.Interested in the 'post-human aesthetic,' the duo also built up a large following on Instagram with photo shoots featuring them in heavy Gothic and extraterrestrial-influenced make-up and clothing, with shaved heads and eyebrows.
AFP PHOTOThe label produced a small collection for Selfridges in London in 2019 and took another major step in its development by tying up with the influential Dover Street Market retailer to make Friday's collection.The range was more commercially-minded than the one-of-a-kind works the pair used to sell online, with apparent influences from US designer Rick Owens.It featured leather and shearling jackets, a grey mohair dress, as well as an almost classic-looking trench coat.
