FECAL MATTER

FECAL MATTER is a multi-disciplinary brand created in order to express uncensored ideas. The FECAL MATTER world presents an alternative to restrictive beauty standards and offers experiences and products that connect fashion, film, politics, performance, music and everything that is forbidden in order to promote critical thinking. The duo behind the brand, Steven Raj and Hannah Rose, connected over their passion for change and freedom of expression when they met in Montreal, Canada. Established in January 2016, the intention behind the brand name comes from their interpretation of the cycle of consumption and how valueless the material world can be. They use social media as a platform to visually share their unique vision of beauty and reality. The duo has been praised for their 360 degree work process as they create all aspects of their work including photography, hair, makeup, clothing design, art, modelling and music. Their work has been showcased in multiple museums such as the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), Museum of Fine Arts (Montreal) and the National gallery of Victoria (Melbourne). They have also worked with Rick Owens as creative directors for the Converse collaboration campaign doing the photography and modelling as well. They are most known for their skin shoes creation, a thigh high boot that resembles the human leg with mutations. This pioneering work has launched a worldwide phenomenon of body transformation within the art and fashion spaces. Beyond their work, Hannah and Steven’s manifesto “Provoke Society” has inspired a generation to live their authentic truth and express themselves without limits, just like they do everyday.
