“A devoted Vans fan, designer and MadeMe impresario Erin Magee joins forces with Vans with this special release for Holiday 2010. For the Vans project, Erin’s design journey began by taking favorite images from vintage issues of INTERVIEW magazine and combining them with her own hand-painted artwork in collage form. Inspired by the late 80’s and early 90’s music, nightlife, art and fashion in NYC, Erin captures the essence of that time and blends it into two of Vans’ latest girls’ styles, the Camryn and the Wellesley.”

MadeMe is one of the youngest womens brands to enter the market. The current Fall/Winter 2007 season was their first and they have already had quite some impact. The brand offers an innovative mix of streetwear and high end fashion, something that was clearly missing in the market.
The Spring 2008 collection is also looking very strong. We can only show you a few pieces so far, but they can already tell that there are good things to come. While we like to put MadeMe from the start in the same category as MOB and Hellz Bellz, all three brands have their very own distinct style.

Erin Magee, creator and designer of MadeMe, has formulated a refreshing maturity and quality to women’s streetwear. As MadeMe launches “First to Fall” with its Fall/Holiday 2008 collection, Magee fuses together the comfortable and confrontational nature of streetwear with the confidence and sex appeal of a woman. With rare innovation in denim design (think your boyfriend’s jeans, but specifically fitted for a girl), high-waisted denim, an array of soft tees and striking leather bomber jackets, MadeMe is the ideal collection for the grown up girl who was raised in the age of streetwear.
 
The first MadeMe collection hits stores this fall and includes two contrasting denim looks, leggings, graphic t-shirts, hoodies and stylized leather bomber jackets. 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. After designing and manufacturing men’s streetwear for years, Magee developed the concept behind the MadeMe brand – bring quality product to the ladies who have lived in the male dominated streetwear market.
It is great seeing girls step up and making it happen. From these first pictures the collection certainly looks promising and we hope to see a lot more from her in the coming years. Check out some more pieces out of her first collection after the jump.
