The subject is Textile Clothing & Footwear (TCF) Supply Chains and the project heading “Globalisation in the Apparel Industry and its effects on the Australian market” Well my family’s life in the “Rag Trade” now spans 50 years and six years ago I chose to follow in their footsteps. My parents think I am crazy to love this trade but it’s in my blood and it has become my passion. This movie tells you a story of where my passion stems from and my journey so far. I am still at the beginning of my roller-coaster ride and my dream of designing for a street/surf wear brand & collaborating with other amazing designers will be my ultimate achievement and dream come true. I love streetwear, street style funky ass’ clothing that people always seem to want to know “where did you got that from?” I express this in all my creations with extra doses of fun, love & cheekiness. Enjoy! Love Life, Love Lots, Love madspin. Hey! let me know what you think xxx
Triple S – Sweet, Sexy, Street art. Her artwork is instantly recognisable in and around the streets of Melbourne. A meshing of art and graffiti with a global message. Her work is fun with an obvious fascination of humans and different creatures. While painting in Sydney recently, Deb was snapped wearing some fresh MADSPIN threads. Ha Ha we love you too DEB!
A few months ago we had Deb (Melbourne) & Water (Sydney) art up our HQ wall. We are loving our colourful lane way, Ohh how we sigh a renewed breath of funkiness. We love your work guys!
Madspin relocated from a small single terrace shop in Greville Street Prahran, to a new larger location in Emma Street, Collingwood. Madspin is a local designer/brand and favours urban style street art culture. The Prahran store had all interior walls covered by local artists Duel, Reach, Phibs and Obe.
This time Madspin asked me to come in and rip it up across three walls with a perspective style piece. I hadn’t done a wrapped piece across walls before so to get the proportion right took some time. The end result gives an illusion that the piece is on one wall rather than wrapping around three.
After a delayed to start (waiting on an electrical contractor to finish!) it worked from 11.30pm to 3am then back in to wrap it up the next day from midday to 3pm. Madspin only had less than 24 hrs to clean, prep and merchandise the store. It was amazing to see a difference the next day!
So, next time you head down to all the Smith Street outlets, be sure to head in to Madspin and check it out. Located at 7 Emma Street Collingwood (directly behind Nike’s Smith Street factory outlet).
If you’re after vintage sportswear garments from the 70s – 90s, then you must check out the collection from http://www.stylereignssupreme.com on a vintage rack in Madspin warehause that is rotated frequently with fresh new stock.
