ABOUT ME
My name is Matti Zell, I'm 23 years old and a big part of my life revolves around fashion.
On this page, you’ll find a curated mix of pieces I’ve sewn myself, alongside selected designer and vintage garments.
​
There is a shop section where selected items are available for purchase, as well as a collection archive showcasing key pieces from my wardrobe. You can also request garments for styling or editorial use.
​
In the projects and events section, I share an overview of past work, including pop-ups, collaborations, and other creative projects I’ve been part of.
THE PASSION
Fashion plays a central role in my life.
With one grandmother having taught sewing classes for 25 years, the other’s father owning a fabric store, and my mother working in the fashion industry, fashion has been part of my heritage from the very beginning.
SEWING
I first started sewing when I was 13, teaching myself everything through trial and error. During the Covid pandemic, I began dedicating much more time to it and sold my first handmade and tailored garments.
​
Since then, I’ve created countless patterns and brought them to life through jackets, pants, hoodies, and more. My process is entirely self-taught and driven by experimentation — every piece I make is the result of learning by doing and a curiosity to push boundaries in design.
THE COLLECTION
Even as a kid, I loved collecting snapbacks and cared a lot about dressing well. In 2016, I got into streetwear brands like "Supreme" and "Yeezy", but it only took a few months before I became more drawn to creative, avant-garde, and artisanal fashion.
​
Over the past few years, I’ve built a wardrobe that now includes nearly 950 pieces, with a strong focus on both avant-garde and artisanal brands.
​
Today, my collection is made up of roughly one-third self-made pieces, one-third designer items, and one-third finds that I simply thought were special or interesting.
