MADEME

MADEME ROSE TO ACCLAIM AT A TIME WHEN FEMALE AND QUEER PERSPECTIVES WERE LARGELY ABSENT FROM THE STREETWEAR LANDSCAPE. INSPIRED BY THE ENERGY OF THE 1990S AND A FEMALE FIRST ETHOS THAT WAS SHAPING MUSIC CLOTHING AND CULTURE THE BRAND FOSTERED A RADICALLY INSTINCTIVE AND SINGULAR APPROACH TO FEMININITY FOR A NEW GENERATION. IN ITS EARLY YEARS MADEME ENLISTED FIGURES SUCH AS COCO GORDON MOORE AND PRINCESS NOKIA TO STAR IN CAMPAIGNS WHILE MENTORING EMERGING TALENTS INCLUDING PALOMA ELSSESSER LOURDES LEON AMANDLA STENBERG AND BEATRICE DOMOND. THESE INTERGENERATIONAL EXCHANGES REINFORCED THE BRANDS IDENTITY AS A COMMUNITY AND ECOSYSTEM RATHER THAN A TRADITIONAL LABEL. THE MADEME GIRL IS DEFINED BY DEFIANCE AND AUTHENTICITY REJECTING PRESCRIBED IDENTITIES AND EXPRESSING HERSELF THROUGH THE GARMENTS SHE WEARS AND THE CHOICES SHE MAKES. COMMUNICATING ACROSS MUSIC ART FASHION AND CULTURE THE BRAND HAS COLLABORATED WITH DOC MARTENS NIKE FRUITS VANS CONVERSE AND X GIRL.
