Anne Sofie Madsen is a Danish designer, who launched her line in 2010 at London Fashion Week. She plays with the juxtaposition of toughness and fragility through the use of materials such as leather, mesh and tulle. These materials are used throughout her collections, along with a graphic touch that comes from her illustration background, to create her pieces. Even though the theme for Anne Sofie Madsen’s collection may change, her vision stays the same. A vision to show the well-known through the un-known, while using traditional handcrafting methods and couture techniques within ready-to-wear.

With her 2009 final project from the Danish School of Design, Anne Sofie took the Danish fashion press by storm and proved that Danish Design has an international appeal. Anne Sofie Madsen graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design, and in 2010 she established her own practice. After being invited to show at London Fashion Week’s Vauxhall Fashion Scout Show in February 2010, Anne Sofie Madsen presented her S/S12 capsule collection at Copenhagen Fashion Week in August. The collection combined Anne Sofie Madsen’s couture look with a commercial approach, which sees both made-to-measure and ready-to-wear styles, reflecting the designer’s time at the Parisian trend forecaster Peclers and since at the house of John Galliano. Before graduating from the Danish School of Design, Anne Sofie Madsen was appointed junior designer at the House of Alexander McQueen in London. During Copenhagen Fashion Week in August Anne Sofie Madsen presented her first show in Denmark. The show manifested the transition from creating purely ‘made to measure’ collections, to combining them with more wearable ready to wear pieces. Drawing is an essential part of Anne Sofie’s work and as well as managing her fashion brand, she works as an illustrator. Her work has been published in different magazines, and this year she will have two books published.
