Maxine Cali – Artist | Fashion Designer | Milliner | Digital Creator

I’m Maxine Cali, an artist working at the intersection of fashion design, millinery, digital art, and bespoke costume.

From crafting statement hats for music royalty — including Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Beyoncé — and for Royal Ascot alongside renowned milliner Victoria Grant in London, UK. To designing my own bold creations, I’ve built a foundation deeply rooted in the artistry of fashion.

I’ve also worked with acclaimed designer Valentim Quaresma, contributing to avant-garde collections presented at Lisbon Fashion Week — an experience that sharpened my love for experimental design and high-concept aesthetics.

Inspired by the magic of film and TV costume, I often blend storytelling with sustainable practices, incorporating upcycled materials into fresh, imaginative forms.

My style is dynamic, playful, and driven by curiosity. I explore ideas through collage, photography, digital techniques, draping, general crafting, and both 2D and 3D design — often incorporating metalwork to bring sculptural elements to life. Whether working by hand or digitally, I aim to spark emotion, provoke wonder, and transport audiences into a world where reality blurs with fantasy.
