Matières Fécales

Matières Fécales completed three custom wedding looks for Gabbriette for her 18 July 2026 ceremony in Los Angeles, following several months of development. The commission also involved Stephen Jones millinery and Christian Louboutin footwear and establishes bespoke capability without creating a separate bridal division.

Bryan Johnson appeared in the Fall/Winter 2026–27 The One Percent runway wearing a close grey knit. His longevity-focused public persona was used as part of the show’s critique of extreme wealth and the idea that extended life can become a purchasable privilege.

Stephen Jones created millinery for the Spring/Summer 2026 HANNAH collection and later made a bespoke white satin riding hat for Gabbriette’s 2026 wedding. The repeated specialist credit establishes a continuing millinery relationship without assigning Jones authorship of the clothing.

Christian Louboutin co-created three footwear designs for The Other and continued the relationship through the following Paris seasons and Gabbriette’s custom wedding commission. The documented collaboration concerns runway and bespoke footwear; the supplied material does not establish a permanent Matières Fécales footwear line.

Steven Raj Bhaskaran is jointly credited in artistic direction with Hannah Rose Dalton for the current Matières Fécales house. His drawing and design work feeds the seasonal wardrobe while the official authorship remains shared across the duo.

Hannah Rose Dalton is jointly credited in artistic direction with Steven Raj Bhaskaran for the current Matières Fécales house. Her tenure covers the Paris seasonal collections, custom work and the wider image of the label while retaining the duo’s shared authorship.

The founders adopted Matières Fécales as the principal name of the Paris-facing house during the transition into Dover Street Market Paris Brand Development and seasonal fashion. Historical material remains credited to Fecal Matter, and no single dated public renaming announcement is documented.

After a January 2024 meeting, Dover Street Market Paris accepted Dalton and Bhaskaran into its Brand Development structure in April. Support in product development, external European manufacture and wholesale preparation gave the label the operating structure used for its Paris Fashion Week phase.

Dalton and Bhaskaran created custom work for the Vogue ballroom segment of Madonna’s The Celebration Tour in late 2023. The commission extended their body-led design into touring performance and preceded the label’s move into a formal Paris seasonal structure.

Fecal Matter contributed bespoke costume designs to the Friedrichstadt-Palast grand show Falling in Love, which premiered in Berlin on 11 October 2023. Jean Paul Gaultier led the production’s visual design direction, making the commission a project-specific stage relationship within the founders’ wider fashion practice.

The National Gallery of Victoria commissioned Skin heel boots for its 2020 Triennial, with Sarah Sitkin collaborating on the silicone and Perspex fabrication. The object converted the founders’ altered-foot imagery into a museum-held physical form while remaining separate from a permanent footwear line.

Fecal Matter released the 100-piece Chained to the System capsule through Depop at Selfridges’ Designer Studio in London from 24 to 31 October 2019. The project expanded the duo’s direct-sales model into physical luxury retail while remaining a finite capsule, not a seasonal runway collection.

Dalton co-led Fecal Matter’s clothing, self-styling and body-transformation image from the public 2016 foundation through the independent pre-Paris years. Her work moved from handmade and repurposed garments into formal presentations, costume commissions and the design language carried into Matières Fécales.

Bhaskaran co-led Fecal Matter’s clothing, image-making and live work throughout its independent phase. His role covered garment design, drawing and the altered-body visual language that led into the Paris house developed with Dover Street Market Paris.

Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj Bhaskaran established Fecal Matter publicly in Montreal in 2016 after meeting at LaSalle College in 2014 and developing an earlier student project together. The label began through handmade and upcycled clothing, direct digital sales and a shared image practice.
