Cakey Sportsman is an independent ready-to-wear label created for those who love to play, feel, express and actively be.
Established in 2025 by designer, artist, and maker Matea Gluscevic; Cakey Sportsman is an alter ego of sorts from her past creative eras, now serving as a vessel for wearable ideas that explore ideas of the self, the body, and identity beyond social frameworks - usually within a playful format.
The Cakey Sportsman world features one creative runway per year with unique handcrafted wearable art works designed and created by Matea, some of which are then adapted to accessible ready-to-wear pieces. As well as many fun new releases throughout the year. The core identities that the brand caters to are mermaids, fairies and street rats.
All our garments are made in small batches in Naarm / Melbourne, Australia from mostly dead-stock fabrics and salvaged materials - by a small Cakey Sportsman Studio team and other small businesses in Victoria.
