Madison and Maya in the making of Cinderella’s dress for Cendrillon 2025
Costume Designer: Maya Anderson
Head Costumier: Madison Lu
Hi! I’m Madison, a Melbourne basesed Costume and Set Designer.
I have an affinity for character, I want to interweave unspoken narratives through silhouettes and materiality. I believe that a production’s design is a character to explore and expose, using aesthetic impact instead of words.
My practice has a draw to the magical and the unexpected, mixing careful proportion with dashes of chaos.
I have completed Bachelor of Fine Arts (Production) at the Victorian College of the Arts in 2025.
My design process incorporates analog exploration focusing on the tactile, with pencils, paints, paper and fabrics, mixing it with the modern technologies of digital rendering and 3D spacial design. I have skills in design as well as costume construction and costume management. My sewing skills range from hand sewing to machine, both domestic and industrial.
