Another spring, another Fashion Week.
I love Lucian Matis. I love the feminity, beauty and fun he brings to his work. (And yes, I realise the irony of that statement coming from a total non-fashionista!) We’re lucky here in Toronto, because he’s presenting 2 shows in the World MasterCard Fashion Week. So what’s the difference?
“The Matis collection more ready to wear while Lucien is more aspirational. More handmade and very high end. I’m making all these handmade laces and it’s really incredible, lots of labour.”
You were on Project Runway Canada. I loved the show and I was so sad they didn’t bring it back because we have such a wealth of talent in this country and what a great way to get it out there.
“I know, it’s unfortunate.”
Do you feel being on the show really gave you a push & helped your career?
“Definitely. It really put me on the map because I was known locally in Ontario, but not as much on a national level or internationally. The show was sold in a lot of other countries, so I’m getting emails from Australia and it’s really very flattering.”
So what do you think? Is Lucien map worthy? Here’s a look at the images from Matis by Lucian Matis.
