Mathis Guertin is a Montreal-based menswear designer whose journey began in sports before pivoting to fashion. Initially focused on his athletic career, the pandemic prompted Mathis to reconnect with his creative passion, and he enrolled in fashion school to learn the technicalities of garment fabrication and fitting. After graduating in 2023, Mathis’ designs began to reflect his love for minimalism, brutalist architecture, and queer fashion.

In 2024, he launched his eponymous brand, “Mathis,” with a vision to challenge the fast fashion industry and create a space for authenticity and inclusivity. His work is rooted in slow fashion, focusing on sustainability and allowing individuals to feel confident and unique in their own skin. Mathis’ designs embody a bold yet minimalist aesthetic, predominantly black with silver accents, where texture and intricate detailing add depth and sophistication.

Mathis’ creations challenge traditional menswear by integrating androgynous silhouettes and gender-fluid designs. His work blends sharp geometry and architectural precision, pushing the boundaries of conventional fashion while maintaining a sense of tailored refinement. Each piece is crafted to break gender norms, offering a sophisticated yet bold expression of individuality.
