About
Hey! I'm Madeleine Macdonald, I am a BA hons Fashion Design graduate from Birmingham City University. Inspirations of mine are biomaterials and textile practices, sustainability and high quality performance wear. Personal experiences, family culture and travel have shaped my creative outlook. I have advanced knowledge of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop as well as draping, pattern cutting and sewing. I have 6 years sewing experience, specialising in womenswear, I am a keen learner and always up for new challenges.
Catch of the day is part of my final year body of work for university. The collection delves into the culture of sea fishing and my personal experiences with fishing off the North Wales coast, history of fashion around this activity has stimulated design features whilst combining contemporary styles and colour ways in order to create a modern menswear collection. With recycled materials from donated deadstock wetsuits and old sea ropes, this collection incorporates elements of sustainability.
