Never one to shy away from the Melbourne nightlife, Stephanie revelled in the opportunity to adorn a fluro mesh and faux leather garment by Matcho Suba, a perfect combination between gritty-city chic and post-punk pinup.
Originally from Slovakia, Matcho Suba is an Australian based designer who now calls South Melbourne home after living in London for several years. Studying at the renowned London College of Fashion, Matcho brought his eclectic style and designs to Australia where he featured as a contestant on Season 3 of Project Runway.
Matcho’s influences include his surroundings, experiences, the people he meets and the places he discovers. Previous collections have taken inspiration from both triumphs and tragedies, such as his Bushfire Collection, a tribute to Black Saturday and more recently the Luna Collection, which celebrated Melbourne city and culture – and of course Luna Park!
Textures and garments that are pleasurable to touch are often the driving force behind Matcho’s designs, with most featuring Australian-made leather and materials. Heading to New York in June, he is set to represent in Australia at Pride Festival for Rainbow Fashion Week.
Matcho’s collection is available at Swoon in Hawthorn or on his website matchosuba.com
