Inspired by intricate patterns of fresh snowfall on winter heather. Inspired by stark lace framing hands and faces in darkly glowing 16th and 17th century portraits. The Twelfth Night collection plays on contrasts: of dark and light; of densely layered pattern and elegant unadorned cloth; of relaxed contemporary cut and historically inspired details.
Twelve shirts across four sizes and two sleeve styles; each is an unique one-off piece.
Bold screen-printed cuffs and collars frame the face and hands; whilst the loose cut is comfortable and flattering. Easy to wear, versatile statement shirts for a myriad of occasions; from the festivities of dark winter nights to the celebrations of bright summer days.
Garments made from fabric collections: the leftovers, hand-me-downs and awkwardly sized bits that sit for years waiting to become something. In the Collection Collection they are brought out from the MacFin cupboards and under-bed boxes and carefully crafted into unique pieces of clothing. Down to buttons and bias binding – as much as possible everything comes from my existing collection. Each garment is a one off. Being made from second hand or scrap fabrics, their environmental footprint is much lower than a garment made from new fabric.
MacFin is a small Glasgow based brand with a desire to create clothing that is playful, individual, long-lasting and environmentally low impact. MacFin garments are made using second-hand, leftover and deadstock fabrics, often combined with bespoke dyed, printed or stitched textiles.
Designer/maker Molly MacDonell Finlayson has a background in costume for stage and screen and a love of textile experimentation. She draws heavily on influences from costume and textiles across history and culture, her childhood dressing-up box and the colours, patterns and textures of Scottish landscapes, flora and fauna. MacFin garments come from a love of materials, a love of clothes and the myriad possibilities they offer.
