GERMAN
LA-BASED APPAREL DESIGNER.
MY NAME IS GERMAN MADRIGAL, AND I AM AN APPAREL DESIGNER LIVING IN LA. IN AN INDUSTRY WHERE ONE CAN BECOME STAGNANT, I SEEK DIFFERENT OUTLETS TO EXPRESS MY CREATIVITY AND CHALLENGE MYSELF. MY PARENTS IMMIGRATED FROM MEXICO AND HAVE SHOWN ME WHAT IT TRULY IS TO CREATE SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING. NEVER TAKING NO FOR AN ANSWER, I LIKE TO CHALLENGE THE NORMS AND BE A SOLUTION-BASED THINKER. FROM PROCESSES TO CONSTRUCTING A GARMENT, MY EXPERIENCES HAVE HELPED SHAPE MY WAY OF SEEKING SOLUTIONS. A MAIN PILLAR IN MY DESIGN PHILOSOPHY IS COLLABORATION IS THE TRUE KEY TO SUCCESS. ONE GROWS FROM CONSTANT LEARNING AND LIFE-SHAPING EXPERIENCES. DESIGN IS ONE WAY OF COMMUNICATING VISUALLY WITHOUT HAVING TO SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.
ABOUT ME
LITTLE BLACK BOOK
MY PROCESS VARIES FROM PROJECT TO PROJECT AND ONE THING IS FOR CERTAIN. MY LITTLE BLACK BOOK IS ALWAYS WITHIN REACH FOR WHEN I NEED TO WRITE A NOTE, PROCESS A THOUGHT OUT OR GIVE MYSELF REMINDERS. ONCE FILLED, I REPURPOSE THEM AND START SKETCHING OVER OLD NOTES AND CONTINUE TO BUILD ON WHAT ONCE WAS. SERVES AS A REMINDER OF WHERE IT ALL STARTED.
