Our Designer and Founder Madison Taylor, originally from a peaceful village in East Yorkshire and now firmly planted in London, has always nurtured a profound passion for women’s suits and the fusion of masculine and feminine attire through her unique vision of workwear. From the age of 4, she was captivated by her father’s suits, despite being drowned by the excess of fabric. It was these early moments that planted the seeds of her love for tailoring.
Intrigued by a career in law, Madison pursued an opportunity to shadow a barrister. However, her biggest takeaway wasn’t the intricacies of the courtroom—it was how striking the female lawyers looked in their perfectly tailored suits. This revelation sparked her decision to follow her true passion: designing her own collection of women’s suits.
Armed with a degree from the University of Arts London’s London College of Fashion, Madison’s lifelong dream has been to launch her own fashion label, focusing on redefining workwear. With a sharp eye for detail and a commitment to authenticity, she envisions curating a brand that crafts timeless, high-quality pieces. Inspired by minimalist aesthetics and a dedication to sustainability, Madison aims to create garments that transcend fleeting trends.
Her ethos revolves around producing garments that stand the test of time, blending classic elegance with modern sensibilities. Driven by her passion for impeccable craftsmanship and a desire to challenge traditional norms, Madison’s collection empowers women to express their individuality with confidence and style.
