ABOUT US
Founded in 2016, Madame Blue is an online independent magazine focused on fashion, travel, and culture.
From fashion and travel to culture and entrepreneurship, there is always something to learn from others, and by sharing their stories, we aim to inspire creativity, connection, and curiosity within our audience.
Meet the Founder
Valeria fell in love with writing at a young age. After competing in journalism throughout high school, she created Madame Blue as an outlet for interviews and articles she could publish while studying at Texas A&M University.
Since then, Madame Blue has welcomed young writers looking to build their portfolios, publish their work, and gain experience on a remote team.
Madame Blue is a nickname my parents gave me as a child after the Styx song ‘Suite Madame Blue.’ Today, Madame Blue represents go-getters with high expectations for themselves and a drive to meet those expectations, regardless of obstacles.”
