Ali Madigan is not only a funky street wear designer who stays in her boozey chain but a true artist who's in love with her craft.
Known as the "art kid" in school growing up in the sunny skies of Cali, Ali has been making clothes since the age of seven. Coming up from making jackets for her dolls to printed hoodies that are rocked by M.I.A. With "First Born" her first collection being sold out within a day things are looking bright for Ali along with the anticipation from her fans of what's to come in her next collection!
So how did this chick from the Bay area end up in Paree'? Traveling around with her buddy Kesh they landed in Paris for some gigs in DJing. While her friend was doing her thing in the clubs Ali had plans to stay behind on the next trip due to the inspiration she felt in the city of Paris.
With most of her pieces and samples in London Ali tells it all for what's to come in her new collection. "It's alot less street wear and more feminine pieces,"said Ali.
With her previous collection originally made for men Ali was fascinated by the majority of her clients being female which then turned her "First Born" collection as unisex. The female love she received from her collection inspired her next one to be fun and sexy for the ladies. But don't worry for all the "hood" lovers she will continue printed hoodies as a separate collection.
Ali will return to the states by the end of this summer with hopes of opening a studio in NYC.
*For all the aspiring street wear designers Ali says "Do what you could do if you couldn't fail"
