The U.K. punk movement of the late Seventies served as the core behind cofounders Scot Shandalove, Henry Choi and Jake Zeitlin's collection for Matiere.
Matiere’s love of San Francisco and the Grateful Dead shone through in its spring collection. “We love San Francisco and the northern region and wanted to tie it into the grittiness of the city,” said designer Scot Shandalone.
For Spring/Summer 2016 Matiere embraces the concept of duality through the use of unexpected materials on modern silhouettes creating a collection that is both familiar and conceptual. Together the textural fabrics and technical details harmonize to form a contemporary collection of comfort and function. A clean palette of optic white, oceanic blue and dusted grey complements this season's textured modernism for an inviting dichotomy that innovates and excites.
For ZARA Studio Spring/Summer 2026, the message is clear: masculinity is fluid, styling is personal, and the future of menswear lies in the balance between structure and freedom.
