SS2023 LOOKBOOK
Bringing together the vibe of dark sex and sensuality. This collection is all about profound statements and sharpness. Brilliant sparkles touch against leather whilst pleats, controlled cut aways and sensuous drapes give a sense of ‘cool’ and a ‘move with me or move out of my way’ energy.
Referencing the Maticevski codes of sculpture and structure, this season sees an injection of pattern and colour that has been splashed, embellished, distorted, and incorporated in unexpected combinations.
Freshness has been infused through the soft papery blues and brushstroke print, and then juxtaposed with sunray collage pleating and scalloped hems. There is a real play of combination and a test to bring as much as you can together whilst enjoying the abstraction and vibrancy of the spirit.
Black plays against sparkles and beautiful pastels, together with crisp white bonded crepe and sublime rose suede. There is poetry of line and silhouette throughout. Each piece draws on an organic movement with precision cutting and shape. Straight lines bend and fold like leaves.
The reverse cut away split motif seen on the leather pieces is a signature Maticevski move. The feeling that squared-out edges can shift the eye and drive it to travel around the leg or shoulder as if almost forming into exclamation points.
There is theatre and drama here with a boldness of colour and shape. Body contouring and erogenous zones are amplified with suggestive cuts and slashes, yet there is an ease with all this frenzy. The ease is in the capacity to pair these pieces together and find that they complement each other despite all their contradictions.
Show me a woman in a singular entity and I will deliver a singular collection without any depth or contradiction. This woman is deeper in her expression and forays of her style. She can be cool and soft, sensual, and tough, at-ease and refined. Well, at least she can be in the world of Maticevski.

Watch her take stride in her self expression. She is majestic and animated like a colorful concoction of sorts. Stemming from the earth, she is a magnetic blooming flower from somewhere dark. A light that hits her radiates and rotates all eyes in her presence.
Welcome to the playground of the summer collection. Sharp, tailored, sensuous, playful, and exuberant. That’s a lot of things to be all at once however whoever says you can’t be all these things, is limited in life and their expression. Go out and be all the things that you feel.
