Fecal Matter — the fashion brand, that is — is suddenly everywhere

When asked what an ethereal Zendaya was wearing for the “Odyssey” premiere in New York, her stylist Law Roach responded: “Fecal Matter.” Kristen Bateman, a longtime fashion and culture writer who has attended all three of the designers’ Paris Fashion Week shows, said their rise is driven by the industry’s desire to see something new. In March, during Paris Fashion Week, the duo unveiled “The One Percent,” with models theatrically strutting with red paint on white opera gloves and wearing eye masks made of dollar bills. The show’s theme was a stark contrast to the billionaires who had been sitting front row at other fashion week shows. With their next Paris Fashion Week show set for September, fashion connoisseurs are eagerly waiting to see what’s next.
