Madelyn Hadel of Rebellelion is a veteran of DFW whose work is bold and free. Take Hadel’s boldness and pair it with Ladies Fancywork Society’s funky crochet, meets street art and you have a match made in heaven.

Designer Madelyn Hadel is best known for patchwork denim jackets she upcycles from thrifted or donated clothing — although she recently expanded to a full line of clothing — the result of which is casual cool, edgy, retro-inspired garments that are part of her brand called Rebellelion.

This new runway show combines local fashion with local art to give you a night unlike any we’ve done before. We’ve handpicked some of our favorite local artists to collaborate with DFW designers we think will compliment and accentuate each other’s styles and creativity

One of the composed designs was patchwork denim, and local designer Rebellelion made waves with her collection of repurposed denim this year.

In a time when femme-centric streetwear is hard to find, enters Hadel with her upcycled version of casual cool with an edge.

For the environmental-focused person in your life, eco-friendly designer, Rebellelion, uses recycled textiles and ethically sourced materials to make her clothing.

Earthy tones were celebrated and the audience discovered bright yellow as a new neutral.

Uniquely, this clothing line is a bazaar for fashion — artistic experimentation fueled by the spirit of doing it yourself. Hadel wanted to ensure her line was focused on eco-friendly and ethically sourced fashion.

My favorite thing is seeing people who buy my denim pieces and incorporate their own flair, like adding pins and sewing on new patches. I love the idea of lifestyle pieces and having something, like a denim jacket, that you can evolve over a lifetime.
