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.
Alpine ravin' crew is a collection based on snow sports and 90's rave culture. I looked into famous 90's dance music band; the prodigy, and have used primary research images and personal heritage of skiing trips to collate fun, sexy and ready to rave (alpine style) garments. The final outcomes from this project were the two final outfits produced in final year of university. The collection incorporates waste fabric and sport specific fabric and detailing. Print development was based on thermal imaging and has been developed throughout this project through sampling and experimentation through a variety of materials and designs.
