Meet the Founder
Madison Lane,
she/they
Despite having no formal education, I have my certification in customer service job-hopping and people pleasing. (it’s a joke) Working in a variety of call center and medical patient serving positions, I’ve learned that people just want to be heard - and have some kind of resolution in this moment, right here, right now. I’m a giver to my core and love being spoiled in return. Why is this important? Because everything I learned has been through life experience. Almost on my third decade of life, my main priorities are a little different these days. I am working on going back to school and creating a life I’m proud of, and not trying to escape from anymore. I have always had a entrepreneurial spirit but got lost in relationships and trying to avoid my identity as a queer woman. I am an incredibly deep and sapphic woman and crave the depths of the heart of the ocean.

My Story
Before I even get started, I just want to be open and honest that I am not everyone’s cup of tea. I am not for the faint of heart, and if you are easily offended this may not do it for you. As someone who struggles with final boss level imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and low self esteem, it is incredibly hard to even say nice things about myself here. I am doing it to push myself out of my comfort zone and finally live a life I can enjoy.
I am someone who values deep and intimate connections, but sabotages anything positive due to trust issues. I’m still learning to be me and accept myself in my authenticity and all it’s forms.
As I grow I am still learning that life was meant to be enjoyed, and that the world is a safe place for me. I am inspired by the light that comes from a fire, water flowing freely, wind coming through my window, and the childlike fantasy of my inner world. My mind wanders off to a faraway castle where I have a giant closest, filled with vintage clothing that’s older than me. You could definitely say I have a passion 4 fashion. I’m a girls girl, embrace my past of being a beauty school dropout, and love capturing beauty on film. The confidence that comes after doing someone’s makeup, finding them the perfect outfit, or just getting them a gift that made me think of them is truly an art form. In the wise words of our queen miss Chappel Roan, “Only a Woman Knows How to Treat a Woman Right” and that’s on period.
If my style of art was a character she would be called Really Weird Art Barbie.
She’s preposterously extra, classy, trippy, maximal, ancient, rainbow glitter, hypersensitive, a little mean, but also a true queen with a heart made of opal.
Right now my favorite category is Business and Pleasure, or anything that makes me feel like an italian mob boss.
It took me an incredibly long time to get to this point of self acceptance, so I am finally in a place where I am ready to share my experiences and help others do the same.
This experience made me realize, I was the art.
Until now, low self esteem and holding myself back has been the number one theme of my life. Not seeing myself drawn through someone else’s perspective was healing, and made me feel beautiful. That’s a huge statement.
So what inspired this project was a recent visit to the 20th Anniversary of EXXXOTICA, basically, the spicey model convention. I went because I thought it would be something interesting to go check out, as ladies did get in free on Friday. But surprisingly enough, the vibes were definitely off. (sarcasm) But. I noticed how the women were treated and didn’t feel right about it. As an intuitive human, I could see how strong the masks were, and that I just didn’t want to accept that yeah this is just how things are. So when I saw my friend who is a microceleb in the community, she was so happy to see me and had the biggest smile on her face. It melted my heart and even just a few minutes of her time you could really see her energy change. When I asked to have a few other girls for photos, they were so appreciative of how patient and respectful I was. We definitely need more queer voices in this space, so I’m trying to become one. We don’t have time on how the this industry needs reformed in my bio, but I feel like empowering women through journalistic photography is a good place to start.
Until now, low self esteem and holding myself back has been the number one theme of my life. Not knowing that my voice or what I want mattered for so long just really has taken a toll on me and my development. So now that I finally made it to where I’m at, I just want to share, create, and expand. Everyone has always told me as a curvy plus size woman that” OMG I WISH I HAD UR CONFIDENCE”. I’m going to be very honest and say a lot of the time, it’s hard for me to even look in the mirror.
So when I recently went through a rough breakup, I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone. I always wanted to go to a nude drawing class, so I signed up to be the model instead. My best friend went with me to Out of the Closet Chicago and I found a pink 2 piece vintage suit and I was like you know what, hell yeah. I didn’t tell anyone I was going to the kinky drawing class, I just showed up in my suit, a scandalous lingerie piece, and my favorite chandelier in my hand. I was bringing the renaissance to Chicago, even just for an afternoon. I had no idea what I was doing, I just set it up, took off my outfit and posed. The best part was for the first time, I felt present in my own body. As someone who mostly identifiers with their emotions, it was the first time my brain could just relax.

what inspires me
the sound of a sparkle, stamping my passport, tuscan countryside, the thought that one day a queer child won’t wonder why they aren’t enough.
deep vulnerability. red roses. any act of love or silliness. the desire to grow and live a life I don’t have to escape from anymore.
lace, corsets, fringe.
Which is what leads us to what is next…
My main focus as a designer is to create lingerie that is like slipping into something beautiful, not to be seen, but to see yourself.
To feel held. To feel holy. To remember that your body is not a project—it’s a home. And it deserves to be worshipped.
It is my goal to bring vintage elements that take you back in time to remember : different eras of sensuality through fashion.
Peach Palace lingerie is an invitation:
To reclaim your sensuality.
To flirt with your own shadow.
To wear softness like armor.
To choose pleasure, every damn day.
