Matea Glušćevič (pronounced Mah-tay-ah Gloo-sh-ch-eh-vich) is a designer, artist, maker, performance artist and founder of the brand ‘Cakey Sportsman’, based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia.
Matea offers her skills in bespoke shoemaking, whether its remakes of archived Matea Gluščević styles, custom fits of Cakey Sportsman styles or a completely unique new style. Cakey Sportsman has tapped into her psyche to bring the unadulterated energy of Cakey Sportsman into the real world. Known for her unique handcrafted footwear, she has now come full circle and has returned to creating all forms of wearable items under her new brand, Cakey Sportsman.
Established in 2025, Cakey Sportsman has a unique expressive structure – with one creative/couture runway per year that is then distilled into ready-to-wear in the following months, with several drops throughout the year.
Cakey Sportsman stands as a beacon of individuality in the world of wearable items by exploring ideas of the self and identity beyond social frameworks, and how the infinite nature of self expression intertwines with the relatively limited nature materials and processes. Cakey Sportsman is for those who love to play, feel, express and actively be.
