Matières Fécales is a Parisian label which embodies the refined glamour and extreme individuality of its founders, Hannah Rose and Steven Raj. The Matières Fécales story begins in 2014, when the pair met and fell in love while studying fashion design in Montreal. Struggling with conformity in their respective environments, Hannah and Steven found freedom within each other to embrace their true identity. Since then, they have spent a decade pioneering their post-human aesthetic while cultivating a worldwide community that lives by their dogma of fearless expression. The unconventional brand name captures the beauty and grotesque of the human experience while challenging the glossy facade of a luxury-driven culture. Their bold business approach is complemented by a design process committed to shaping the future of timelessness.
The brand debuted at Paris Fashion Week with its FW25 collection in March 2025, positioning itself as one of the most notable shows of the season and a fresh voice pushing boundaries in contemporary fashion through razor-sharp tailoring and couture-like silhouettes. A label like no other, Matières Fécales liberates those longing for freedom of expression through a singular vision of unleashed elegance and beauty.
In their show notes, Matières Fécales’ Steven Raj Bhaskaran reflected on his partner, Hannah Rose Dalton: „Watching her walk out into the world every day, receiving such judgmental reactions towards her expression, makes me feel sad sometimes regarding the intolerance of the world around us. It sends a message that being different from the norm isn’t rewarded in this society. It’s usually degraded. Regardless, she still keeps walking through the laughter, the pointing, the stares and often the aggression.”
