You get to wear literal art! is how Madolyn Ropell describes her love for fashion—admitting that her respect for the creativity, thoughtfulness, and love that go into creating garments sometimes makes her (unapologetically) the most overdressed person in a room. She is a master curator, drawing inspiration from both the past and present to create feminine and dreamy, yet powerful looks.

Neighborhood Chosewood Park

On clothing and kindness For me, clothing creates a safe space for self-exploration. I always want fashion to remain deeply personal and never materialistic. There is an inherent kindness to accepting ourselves and others in our current state.

On dressing up I believe in dressing completely for myself. I may be a little overdressed and over the top on occasion, but an important shift happens when we feel powerful and confident in all situations.
