The eponymous line Galadriel Mattei is an eco-friendly luxury line, based in Los Angeles. The creative basis of the aforementioned collection is FEMP: Folklore, Elitelore, Monsters, and Politics. Each season examines human stories with FEMP as the point of reference for the aesthetic realization of the garments, as well as, the mode of production for the collection. In other words, the predominate interweaving narratives in each collection are as much about the resources utilized for creation, both the humans involved and the materials used, as the final form of the garment. In keeping with this belief, that every resource has immeasurable value, we engage in local production and environmentally responsible options. We hope that our work makes visible these theaters populated by gutter clowns, recovering vaudevillians, decaying monarchs, Baroque morticians, and so many others. Finally, we hope that our work encourages dialogues both serious and absurd via an inextricably linked tactile and aesthetic experience.
