Fecal Matter — the Fashion Brand, that Is — Is Suddenly Everywhere
The Montreal-founded label gained momentum through celebrity endorsements, Dover Street Market backing and theatrical runway shows that pushed its boundary-breaking aesthetic.
- On July 14, 2026, Zendaya wore an angelic gown by Matières Fécales to the 'Odyssey' premiere, while actor Sarah Paulson donned a distressed ball gown at this year's Met Gala, marking the Paris-based fashion house's shift from cult label to mainstream success.
- Co-Founders Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj Bhaskaran started the brand as students in Montreal, adopting the French name to critique the fashion industry. Dalton recalled to Vogue last year that they selected the term to present their perspective glamorously.
- Their 'The One Percent' collection unveiled in March explored themes of power, with models wearing eye masks made of dollar bills. The designers aim to push boundaries through alien-like silhouettes and absolute freedom of expression.
- Stylist Brad Goreski noted a 'beautiful tension' in their work, while writer Kristen Bateman attributed their rise to the industry's desire for novelty. Dover Street Market president Adrian Joffe provided development support after meeting the designers backstage at a Madonna show in 2024.
- With their next Paris Fashion Week show set for September, fashion connoisseurs await the designers' next step. Early support from boundary-breaking performers Madonna and Lady Gaga has positioned the brand at the intersection of artistic expression and commercial appeal.
