MALDOROR began in 2007 in Warsaw when its founder Grzegorz Matląg wrote his manifesto outlining the meaning of true luxury. In its beginnings, it was just a personal art project, mocking the fashion world. To this day the brand continues to use experimental tequniques that are result of Matlag being untrained in sewing and design. Staying true to the concept that being unique is true luxury, the work focuses on one-off pieces, small collections, and collaborations. The designer himself plays a lot with self irony, mocking today’s life and trends, and delivering witty and luxurious clothes. Renowned as the enfant terrible of the Polish fashion industry, MALDOROR continues to shock society with its eccentricity and sarcasm.
