Color Revolution in Cashmere
Before Madeleine Thompson, cashmere meant beige, cream, and camel. The innovative designer changed all that, introducing bold colors and patterns that transformed luxury knitwear. “People didn’t use to associate color with cashmere,” Thompson explains. “It wasn’t considered an exciting piece in your wardrobe.”
Those rainbow-adorned cashmere tracksuits spotted on celebrities at airports worldwide? They’re Thompson’s creations, and they represent a fundamental shift in the industry. Her fierce approach to pattern and color has made her brand a destination for women seeking stylish, unexpected takes on cashmere essentials.
Thompson’s collections feature everything from oversized animal prints to Mondrian-inspired sweaters, dogtooth printed bombers to retro striped duster coats. Her AW19 collection, heavily inspired by 1980s sportswear, exemplifies this bold approach with daring color combinations that smarten up everyday basics.
As detailed in Vogue Hong Kong’s designer spotlight, this color revolution wasn’t just about aesthetics—it was about changing how women think about and wear cashmere. Thompson proved that luxury and playfulness aren’t mutually exclusive. Her home aesthetic and Hong Kong lifestyle further illustrate her commitment to bringing personality and vibrancy to every aspect of design.
