After never really hearing about Madeline I thought I would look her up, in doing so I found that she was on the zero waste fashion movement in the mid twentieth century. Her designs are absolutely beautiful and totally inspirational, she uses a lot of lace and delicate fabrics creating stunning pieces, her designs are classic. When you hear sustainable fashion I know that my first thought is always linking it to hessian or other bland fabrics and tatty garments, but seeing her work and other designers sustainable work has shown me that you don't have to make something that looks 'recycled' its can be a beautiful piece and a work of art in its own right. I thought I would share a few images of Madeleine's work in hopes you will all feel as inspired as I did, and has proved zero waste fashion is the way forward.
