Style - Rachel Green Effortless Style

Post Thanks Giving, we thought we'd write about our all time favourite American icon of the century, Rachel Green.

For years the Friends style icon has covered our screens, looking impeccably effortless in her fashion selection. 

Whether it is her casual dungaree look, with a jersey top.

Roll neck and plaid skirt, denim or no denim Rachel Green had 90's style sorted.

   

  



Even work attire or an effortless party dress, we feel some of our collection unknowingly emulates Rachel's zest for fashion.

News - Women of the Year

We felt inspired by Red magazine’s Women of the Year awards and decided to

write up about the women that inspire us here at Madia & Matilda.

The Female Boss

Bianca Miller is a true M & M babe being a real advocate of Madia & Matilda and fulltime female boss. 

You’ll recognise her from winning The Apprentice and her self-titled hosiery business that is

blooming and you can spot her on our Instagram! She’s recently started

stocking her tights in Topshop, congrats Bianca!






The Fashion Muse

Nina Nesbitt is one of our fashion muses, we love her 90s style and playing her

songs on repeat in the office. We also love her Twitter, she’s always posting

her thoughts and cute outfits.

Corinne Bailey Rae

She’s a woman who has inspired us for years, we love her music and her

personal style. She’s got a quirky elegance about her and we dream of seeing

her in M & M one day!

The Activist

Emma Watson, what a woman. As if she hadn’t already cemented her place in

our hearts through Harry Potter, her role in HeForShe will always mean there is

a place for her in our Women of the Year.

We are always talking about sustainability here at Madia and Matilda is some

way or another, so Dame Vivienne Westwood’s spot in our most loved women

is well secured. Seeing her at the Cheltenham Literature Festival talking about

her Climate Revolution campaign completely reinforced our love for the Queen

of Green and Punk.

The Internet’s Big Sister

Whilst she’s also a top female boss, there is no denying that the for younger

generation Zoella is the internet’s big sister. There is also no denying our inner

fan girl that’s released when we watch her Lush hauls.

Megan Gilbride is another big sister to the internet. Over at Wonderful You she

writes about some of the most important topics a girl can read. Mental health –

check, Smear tests – check, girl power – check she’s got the guts to talk about

it all and we love her for that.

We’d love to hear about your women of the year – be them family members or

celebrities, let us know! tweet @MadiaMatilda

Our Muse - Corrine Bailey Rae

Madia & Matilda's girl crush at the moment has to be the gorgeous Corrine Bailey Rae her style seems to be effortless and completely natural, we are loving her outfits which just enhance her brilliance. I mean look at her, the colours suite her skin tone perfectly, she keeps it classy showing just the right amount of flesh, the silhouettes and fit of her clothes suites her figure to a T. We feel that she would suite our brand's aesthetic effortlessly, her nonchalant attitude would suite our chic sophisticated look.

Where do you like to go shopping?

Shops all over the Country, Like shopping in Oxford 

What style of clothing do you normally go for?

I love big coats and checked shirts and love finding unique pieces

Do you find it difficult to shop for clothes?

I'm quite tall so, sometimes I find it hard to find clothes that fit

What do you like about Madia & Matilda?

The Materials; the patterns; the colours and there ethos. I love that the upcycled clothes have a whole other life as something else before

Do you feel more clothes should be sustainable?

Absolutely, sustainability needs to be a part of our future (in all aspects/industries) Resources are scarce, yet many use them like they are unlimited. People need to be educated and awareness needs to increase. 

It is an investment to our future and it applies to pretty much everything around us for example food, I feel fashion gets slightly over looked.  

Madia & Matilda produce such beautiful clothes, they are a real inspiration

What is your staple item of clothing within your wardrobe?

I live in an ancient Barbour wax jacket, I picked up in a charity shop for £5 about 6 years ago. It's great in the winter with a turtle neck jumper but looks really nice over a cute dress in spring! I couldn't live without it!
