It all started with a simple beanie hat and has now become one of fashion’s most successful creators of luxury cashmere. Madeleine Thompson’s eponymous brand, based between London and Hong Kong, is known for pioneering the cashmere tracksuit set and for its bold, rainbow colours. The designer’s retro, sportluxe sweaters, jumpsuits, wraps and other pieces, woven from the highest quality Italian cashmere, and have become a chic staple for the fashion crowd.
Madeleine’s simple, classic designs has attracted a huge number of new followers. “I am super influenced by the skater and surf vibe of the 1970s in LA, and ‘70s and ‘80s skiwear, and I just love the contrast of pairing that with this intensely luxe cashmere. The 1970s is an awesome mine of ideas. I’m constantly looking at colour and how it is combined and used in different cities that I visit. I’m now designing these massive collections filled with colour, and I absolutely love it, and I feel like people are really responding to that.”
