Matières Fécales Brings Provocative Spectacle To Paris Fashion Week
Matières Fécales held a very unusual fashion show in Paris.
The show took place in a public square called Place de la République.
Ninety-nine models of colour walked in the presentation.
The collection was divided into three parts called FAMILY, TRIBE and GODS.
Some outfits showed ideas about family and motherhood, including a pregnant model.
Other clothes were inspired by punk music, military styles and demonstrations.
The final section included gowns influenced by sarees and dramatic face paint.
At the end, models carried large lifelike figures representing billionaires.
Singer Rihanna watched the show from the front row.
Matières Fécales presented its Spring/Summer 2027 collection at Paris’s Place de la République.
The show featured 99 models of colour across three chapters: FAMILY, TRIBE and GODS.
Designs combined pregnancy imagery, punk tailoring, military references, saree-inspired gowns and sculptural silhouettes.
The finale showed models carrying lifelike billionaire figures around the central statue.
Rihanna attended the show wearing a gold fringed outfit and curved-heel Christian Louboutin pumps.
