About April Madden

April Madden Studio is fueled by the love of rich luxurious textiles, especially vintage handmade fabrics from all across the globe. Our silhouettes are created with care to not only showcase these amazing fabrics, but set a precedence for size inclusivity. Using primarily vintage fabrics is our pleasure, but also our way of preserving the resources of our planet. The fashion industry is second only to the oil and gas industry in regards to annual pollution; being a small independent brand lends itself to a caring approach to both our clothing and the environment it exists in. Each of our pieces is lovingly designed and produced in the heart of Kansas City. We focus on quality garment construction such as French seams, bias binding created by hand, and narrowed rolled hems. These techniques are best suited for the delicate fabrics we adore, and to us, the inside of a garment should look as just good as the outside! We feel that the love and attention to detail we pour into each look passes on to each of our lovely customers as they move freely in our clothing, feeling the joy of wearing something as special and unique as they are.
