We got our first taste of designer Erin Magee’s enviable personal style and dark humor when we interviewed the MadeMe designer and her wife Nicole Albino this past spring. Needless to say, we quickly fell head over *Doc Martens* and we’re incredibly excited to announce that Erin’s MadeMe Fall/Winter 2015 collection has arrived in OC stores and online for the first time.
Inspired by Catholic school girls with a flair for authentic plaids and ‘70s British punk music, MadeMe’s “Immaculate” collection is a rebellious teen dream. The Cropped Turtleneck Sweater is embroidered with a patch that reads “Touch Me & Die” while an asymmetrical two-tone kilt is stamped with a graphic “Immaculate” text, proving that ladies with good taste most definitely have a badass edge. As Erin notes in her intro below, “You can clearly see that the MadeMe girl is anything but the Virgin Mary.”

What was your style like in high school? Major raver
What's your favorite thing about Opening Ceremony? The fact that OC supports young designers as well as the best of the best established collections. It’s where I go to when I want to see new things as well as the old favorites. It’s exciting shopping that really inspires me.
What’s your current collection inspiration? Punk Catholic school girl. The use of authentic plaids throughout the collection is equally a nod to both Catholic school uniforms and late ‘70s British Punk. The recurring use of the word “Immaculate” is meant as an ironic contradiction. As you can clearly see, the MadeMe girl is anything but the Virgin Mary.
If you were to do another job besides designing, what would it be? I’ve always wanted to work for Arianne Phillips since I was about 15 years old. She’s done the costumes for The Crow! Tank Girl! The People Vs. Larry Flynt! Girl Interrupted! And almost every Madonna Tour!!!!
What’s your favorite music to listen to in the studio? I love a Madonna album (duh) and I’m always into a Hole album.
