The Lucian Matis Spring 2013 collection hit catwalks at the 2012 Toronto Fashion Week showing. The former Project Runway Canada contestant has been working on his ready-to-wear expertise since 2007, and he has since expanded his following, vision and penchant for posh ensembles.
Titled 'Matis by Lucian Matis,' the apparel stunned audience members with flashes of bright yellow and twisting, kaleidoscope patterns. Many of the pieces were reminiscent of Studio 54 styles, seen in the gilded pant suits and psychedelic patterns.
One of the best aspects of the Lucian Matis brand is its applicability. Although the dresses, blazers and skirts are flashy and quite over-the-top, they still maintain a sense of tradition and modesty about them, making the outfits appropriate for numerous settings.
