ARTIST COMMUNITY

Crazy story: one time I was busking in Chinatown and got spotted by the tour manager for a band called Rednex and asked to join the group on tour. I said yes and now I officially sing with Rednex who are most famous for releasing the song COTTON EYE JOE…. It’s absolutely mad but the takeaway is that I’m never saying no to new opportunities and trying new things and bringing heaps of good energy with me 😎

My name is Charlie McMahon and I am a fashion and textile designer from the North East of England. My work is inspired by rural textile traditions and bringing them into a high fashion context. My most recent project is inspired by a series of nightmares I had as a child featuring the painting ‘Miss Wong’ by Vladimir Tretchikoff, which hung in my living room when I was growing up. Inspired by the paintings vivid colours and the subjects piercing stare, I have made a wardrobe of clothes for this nightmare woman. Featuring over the top colours and prints that swarm around the body and unconventional silhouettes and pattern cutting, in order to emulate the disorienting feeling of being in a nightmare.
