Made Me Clothing
"You either know this girl or you are this girl – rock a pair of Jordan’s by day and
Gucci’s by night... Erin Magee, creator and designer of MadeMe, has formulated a refreshing maturity and quality to women’s streetwear."
It seems everyone is launching a womens streetwear line this season. Here is the first preveiw of Made Me designed by Erin Magee who is also Productions manager at supreme. She is trying to do what many female streetwear brands are not: bring sophistication and attract an older more mature customer (like me, I am thirty) who appreciates thier streetwear Roots but desires clothing with a little more sex appeal and high fashion.
Erin Magee got her start in fashion over 4 years ago, managing the successful collaboration between designer Kim Jones
and sports brand Umbro creating an exclusive, high-end streetwear collection. Since then she has styled editorial and
video shoots for a multitude of musicians and top tier publications. Over two years ago, Magee joined the world famous
Supreme brand as Production Manager. Here is a short Interview with Erin:
What is your favorite all time sneaker?
EM: Jordan 11 - patent leather black and white
What sneaker do you wish you owned?
EM: The original Air Max 95 (grey/neon green). I USED TO HAVE THESE!!! I
threw them out so long ago...and always wish I had them back!
How many sneakers are in your current rotation?
EM: Probably 10
In which shops can we expect to find MadeMe this fall?
EM: Valley NYC, UNION NYC, Atmos, Reed Space, GreyOne, Cultist
Shop.....mademeclothing.com
Where are you from, and how long have you been in NYC?
EM: I am from Toronto, Ontario - CANANDA! I have been in NY since 1999.
The collection includes two contrasting denim looks, leggings, graphic t-shirts,
hoodies and stylized leather bomber jackets.
The debut collection, “First to Fall” was inspired by America’s obsession with celebrity. The literal translation of our
unhealthy fascination with celebrity is expressed through MadeMe’s line of super soft t-shirts with screen-printed graphics.
The collection’s premier tee is adorned with an airbrushed photo of Marilyn Monroe taken by Bert Stern during her last photo
shoot, for Vogue, six weeks before her death. Other prints include the “Paris is Burning” tee, named after a documentary
film chronicling the New York’s gay club culture. Created from a collage of New York Post headlines over a six-month
period illustrating America’s infatuation with celebrity culture. Rounding out the collection is the “Virgin Tee” and the “Lips
Tee” – both of which are purely honoring Magee’s main inspiration – Madonna.
