Matt Sarafa Teen Designer

After conquering both New York and Paris Fashion week this year with his two new lines "FAKE" and "ROLEPPLAY," young teen designer Matt Sarafa is lighting the fashion industry on fire with his edgy, yet refined style. At 19 years old, Matt is one of the youngest designers to show at Paris Fashion week and has no plans to stop any time soon already prepping for 2018 New York Fashion week at the beginning of the new year.

Matt's newest designs for "ROLEPLAY" will blur the lines between ready-to-wear pieces, mixed with different textures, and high-end couture. The remarkably talented young designer has drawn inspiration from every aspect of his life. Holding true to his belief that fashion is for everyone and knows no gender, "ROLEPLAY" will continue to show Matt's talent for creating beautiful pieces of clothing that will give his wearers confidence to be who they are. The fun spring collection features many bright and fun pastel colors including baby blue, millennial baby pink and more. Created for both women and men, "ROLEPLAY" features pieces that are unlike anything his has shown before, that will once again show how gifted Matt is when it comes to creating for the world of fashion.

Not only debuting a new line at Paris Fashion Week this year, Matt continues to grow his online store with the world-wide release of his "FAKE" collection that will be made available on MattSarafa.com later this fall. Debuting in the spring of 2017 at New York Fashion Week, "FAKE" is Matt's take on high-end, ready-to-wear street fashion. Featuring luxurious faux fur coats and various graphic shirts, and sweatshirts, Matt continues moving forward in fashion by brining hi-end and street wear together. Along with the clothes for the line, Matt released an exclusive jewelry line that has continued to flourish, and sell out on his website. The line includes rings, knuckle rings, necklaces, chokers, hand chains, and more.

Growing up in Manhattan Beach, California, Matt always had an artistic side and was passionate about drawing and painting since he was a child. After binge watching an entire season of "Project Runway" with his mother at the age of 7, he knew fashion was his true calling. He then learned how to hand sew from his grandmother and eventually began taking classes to perfect his technique. Growing up in the age of YouTube, Matt started his own channel which features makeup tutorials and fashion tips and advice, which is watched by thousands of budding fashionistas looking for a little help and inspiration. This caught the attention of producers for "Project Runway: Threads," which aired in 2014. A fan favorite on that show, Sarafa was a no-brainer choice for producers when the networks newest show "Project Runway Juniors" aired in October of 2015.
When Matt isn't busy launching his new clothing line, building his fashion empire, or spending time studying as a sophomore at UCLA, Matt loves giving back working with charities such as Life World, Children's Hospital LA and the Pink Lotus Foundation.

Undoubtedly one of the most talented new generation of designers, Matt and his new collections "ROLEPLAY" and "FAKE," have completely blown away the fashion world with his fresh new designs and innovative eye.
