About
Maddie is passionate about bringing hand embroidery into a current society and for it to be recognised and respected as a contemporary craft. With in her work she takes inspiration form nature, with surrounded her while growing up in Derbyshire, along with elements that influence her on a day-to-day basis, such as popular culture, her friends, music and now living in London as a young creative. Maddie combines these current themes with traditional hand embroidery techniques
‘Trance’ is a collection of club wear, inspired by my love of music, dance, raves, and the culture surrounding it. I explored lighting, visual effects, music and dance through hand embroidery, using traditional techniques such as Tambour and Crewelwork aiming to combine traditional embroidery with a contemporary subject. The collection comprises a sleeveless jacket, embellished boots, a bustier, and a skirt
