Madeleine Brodin<\/h1>\n

BA Fashion Design Innovation<\/h3>\n

My name is Madeleine Brodin and I am a Fashion Design Innovation (IND) Student at the University of Leeds. My work is grounded towards the reduction of textile waste and consumerism, shown through the creation of minimal waste collections, using innovative techniques such as zero waste weaving and clever Shima Seiki programming, to designing childrenswear collections that grow with the child.<\/p>\n

‘Ronald Van Der Kemp’ Wardrobe 24 ‘The Renaissance and the Rise of Consumerism’ Inspired by the Renaissance, Wardrobe 24 traces the early roots of modern consumerism, staying true to RVDK\u2019s commitment to low\u2011waste design and the upcycling of luxury materials. Outfit One features a structured corset with a \u2018Jabara\u2019 bustle made from deadstock silk and a hand\u2011woven velvet panel, paired with a zero\u2011waste draped silk skirt. Outfit Two presents a knitted godet jumper, with the godets engineered as a single programmed piece to minimise waste, styled with silk trousers inspired by Holly McQuillan\u2019s Spiral Zero\u2011Waste pattern.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Own Brand ‘Tabby Kat’ SS27 ‘A Swedish Midsummer’ Tabby Kat is a high\u2011street childrenswear brand that I created, designed not to be trend\u2011driven but instead to reflect the clothing I wore throughout my own childhood, with a focus on print and appliqu\u00e9 techniques. As children are constantly growing, the collections feature garments that are modular by design, incorporating elements such as shirring to allow for growth and hems that can be let down. The SS27 collection is influenced by the celebration of a Swedish Midsummer, a tradition centred around meaningful time with the family, drawing upon floral motifs, midsommarst\u00e5ng dancing and picnic feasts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘and Wander’ AW26 ‘Highlands of Heritage’ and Wander\u2019s brand mission originates from the founders\u2019 desire to bring fashion into nature, creating functional, purpose\u2011built technical clothing that bridges high\u2011fashion streetwear with the outdoors. Inspired by the remote Bosnian village of Lukomir, the and Wander AW26 collection explores the relationship between outdoor living and traditional craftsmanship from this region, incorporating Bosnian knitting motifs alongside cave\u2011inspired prints.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
