INTERVIEWS

Scenike: Matej Fijačko

“The guest of this Scenike episode was Matej Fijačko, better known in “Tifla” and also on Radio Študent as Matejka Fijačkova. You’ll most often find Matejka at Club Tiffany, always arriving with the
motivation to be the best-dressed person in the room. AND SHE IS! We talked to this fashionista about her fashion ambitions, the inspiring queer scene, and her unsuccessful nominations for the Golden Tiffany award—an accolade she is sure to win this year.”
