Anne Sofie Madsen AW 2012

With the Autumn/Winter 2012 collection that she presented during the Copenhagen fashion week, Anne Sofie Madsen definitely made us travel to the future. This impression was supported of course by the shape of the clothes, but also by the hair style and make-up of the models.

Her creations are not following a unique style; some designs would make us think of gothic inspirations, while others are profusely feminine with some looks would be considered as masculine.

What is important to notice is the fact that Anne Sofie Madsen does not forget any detail, which make her creations even more fantastic: very extravagant men-styled shoes with a leather band crossing from one side to the other and worn with yellow socks, crazy necklaces and collars that reminds us of an African tribe, mixtures of textures and materials and games with different volumes.

A  particular look that defined this collection, in my mind, is this the white voluminous skirt made of different materials (different levels of tulle, shaped in different manners and fringes), worn with a sweatshirt with transparent sleeves and a face shaped in the middle, paired with those tell-tale mannish shoes with yellow socks.

Anne Sofie Madsen is a Danish designer who studied at the Royal Academy of Arts School of Design. She has worked for many renowned designers: John Galliano for Dior in Paris and Alexander McQueen. She was perceived by the Vauxhall Fashion Scout as a new rising talent. Her first collection was launched during the Copenhagen Fashion Week in August 2011.

She is definitely someone to keep in mind!
