ANN SOFIE MADSEN
France

Anne Sofie Madsen graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and trained under John Galliano in Paris, before moving to London to work for Alexander McQueen as a Junior Designer. In 2011 she started her own label and presented her first collection at London Fashion Week in February. The following season she opened Copenhagen Fashion Week and has been showing there ever since. She won Danish Fashion Award and GenArt’s Fresh Faces in 2012 and was chosen to exhibit with Italian Vogue during Milan Fashion Week the same year. In 2013 she won the prestigious DANSK Design Talent prize. In 2014, the brand presented its first fashion show at Paris Ready-to-Wear Fashion Week.Drawn by the point where fashion replaces the body with something abstract an idea or ideal instead of an organism. Anne Sofie Madsen’s designs are built on contrasts and ambivalence. The woman has to be both inviting and out of reach. She is streetwise and ladylike, boyish and feminine at the same time.
