Matières Fécales Presents Inclusive 'The Ninety Nine Percent' Collection at Paris Fashion Week
At Paris Fashion Week, Montreal-based designers Steven Raj Bhaskaran and Hannah Rose of Matières Fécales presented their Spring Summer 2027 collection, 'The Ninety Nine Percent,' at Place de la République. The show featured 99 models of color, many new to runways, and was divided into three chapters—'FAMILY,' 'TRIBE,' and 'GODS'—highlighting themes of immigrants, marginalized communities, and identity. The collection incorporated dramatic silhouettes, sari-inspired gowns, and striking makeup, including white-painted faces and red sindoor, drawing from Bhaskaran's multicultural upbringing and aiming to amplify underrepresented voices in fashion.
