Lucian Matis

Romanian-born fashion designer Lucian Matis moved to Canada in 1999 starting his fashion studies at Ryerson University in 2000, where he soon showed great talent and maturity leading to his early graduation in 2003. While in University, Lucian won many different fashion awards including: The Fur Council of Canada Award (2002), Le Chateau’s Menswear Competition (2002), People’s Choice Award for Best Sketch in the Chinese Competition (2002), semi-finalist for the International Young Designer Competition (2002) and Alfred Sung Award for great design talent (2003). Lucian’s first professional collection was presented at L’Oreal Fashion Week in March 2007 featuring an eclectic vision for FALL/WINTER 07. The collection was received with great success. Accolades and praise followed quickly including a special guest appearance on the highly rated, final episode of Canada’s Next Top Model wherein his entire collection was worn down the runway in a final competition between the two finalists. As a result of this much-deserved attention, Lucian was invited to participate on the first season of SLICE channel’s hit reality-TV show, PROJECT RUNWAY CANDA wherein he stole the hearts of Canadians everywhere and took a very contentious second place.
