2026 Honoree Spirit of Design Award: Madison Chamberlain
Madison Chamberlain ’17 is a nontraditional bridal designer and founder of Madison Chamberlain, a brand known for colorful, non-traditional wedding dresses and statement veils. Her work focuses on creating pieces for those who don’t see themselves in traditional bridal. She knew she wanted to be a fashion designer from a young age and graduated from Thomas Jefferson University’s fashion design program in 2017. What began as a small ready-to-wear womenswear line has evolved into a studio specializing in custom wedding dresses, bridal jumpsuits, separates, and bold accessories, ranging from dramatic veils to custom capes and gloves. Known for vibrant color, strong design and exceptional fit, Madison’s work helps clients celebrate their most authentic selves while redefining what bridal can be, offering designs that are personal, expressive and completely one-of-a-kind.
