Matieres Fecales Presents Avant-Garde Sari-Inspired Collection at Paris Fashion WeekPreviousNext

At Paris Fashion Week, Matieres Fecales showcased its Spring Summer 2027 collection featuring dramatic silhouettes, sari-inspired gowns, and striking white-painted faces with red sindoor-like markings. Co-designed by Steven Raj Bhaskaran and Hannah Rose, the collection pays tribute to immigrants and marginalized communities, blending traditional Indian elements with avant-garde fashion. The show, held at Place de la Republique, sparked diverse reactions online, with some praising its theatricality and others dubbing it "chudail couture." Notably, some fabrics were handwoven in Banaras, highlighting cultural craftsmanship.
