Fans of Project Runway’s Australian series might recognise these avant-garde pieces as belonging to Slovakian-born Matcho Suba. Suba’s secret ingredient to any collection is a little dash of shock value, be it in jingling bells strategically stitched into the bust of a sheer lace dress, or an unexpected mix of textures and styles.
This collection splices femininity with all things wild – fur pelts and antler-esque wooden headpieces catch the eye until it’s finally drawn to towering wooden geta-like shoes. An unconventional subject matter that’s a perfect marriage for the convention-breaking Peter Coulson, this shoot brings out the best features of Suba’s designs.
Starring models Natascha Verkaik, Alica Komodromos, Milica Vujic and Sahara Deng, you can view all of the Peter Coulson-photographed shoot by clicking on the thumbnails above.
