Madison Taylor, the designer and founder of the brand, hails from a peaceful village in East Yorkshire and now resides in London. Her deep passion for women’s suits and the fusion of masculine and feminine styles began at a young age. From as early as four, she was captivated by her father’s suits, despite being overwhelmed by the fabric. It was these early moments that sparked her love for tailoring.
Though she initially considered a career in law and even shadowed a barrister, it wasn’t the intricacies of the legal world that caught her attention—it was the sight of female lawyers in their impeccably tailored suits. This moment of clarity pushed Madison to pursue her true passion: designing her own collection of women’s suits.
Graduating from the University of Arts London’s London College of Fashion, Madison’s dream of launching her own fashion label became a reality. Her focus is on creating timeless, high-quality pieces that redefine workwear. With an eye for detail, minimalist aesthetics, and a strong commitment to sustainability, Madison aims to craft garments that stand the test of time, blending classic elegance with modern sensibilities.
Her ethos is grounded in producing pieces that not only embody craftsmanship and authenticity but also challenge the norms of traditional fashion. Madison is committed to creating garments that empower women to express their individuality with confidence and style, while promoting a more thoughtful, sustainable approach to fashion. Her designs are built to last, both in quality and relevance, transcending fleeting trends to become wardrobe staples.
