The basis of ‘Madgie’; is sensual and sexy perusal of power dressing style. It is a desire to emphasize the feminine strength and determination with the help of elegant and seductive outfits. Strict pantsuits or daring mini, transparent blouses or bright biker jackets, airy ruffles or deep cutouts – any accent will be a sequel of personality.
The collection is permeated with 80-90s aesthetic, the designer sought to express a new personal view on the era through the prism of modernity, which also served as a starting point for experiments during the lookbook shooting.

Thus, demonstrating a modern approach to already known concepts.
