Career
Career
Matoshi moved to the U.S. in 2016 to pursue a degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology. When her application was rejected she continued to design independently from a studio in the Bronx. Matoshi made headlines in 2017 when she customized a pair of tights by embellishing them. After posting an image of the tights on her personal Instagram page the image was shared by numerous fashion bloggers and Matoshi began selling versions of the tights after receiving requests for them. In 2017, one of her designs was also worn by singer Elle King to the Grammy Awards. In 2020, another of Matoshi's designs similarly went viral. Made of a tulle fabric featuring a pattern of glittered strawberries, the dress led to a 1000% increase in sales for Matoshi. Vogue dubbed Matoshi's design "the dress of the summer". Lirika Matoshi received recognition from the Minister of Culture, Youth, and Sports in Kosovo, Vlora Dumoshi, and Deputy Minister, Halil Matoshi, in August 2020.
