Maje is a Parisian line that I am totally in love with. With an inspiration book that draws on rocker glam and folk sources, the result is a perfectly comfortable line. Although predictable - leather leggings, a biker jacket, fringe, and the fur vests - the line is not obnoxious or overdone. It's trendy, no doubt, but not cookie cutter. The simplicity of the pieces allow the wearer a freedom of expression, an ability to make the pieces their own rather than looking like a display mannequin. I love the clean and simple pallet that emphasizes texture before colour, and the relaxed tailoring. I can't wait to see what they come up with in the coming Fashion Fury month of February!
But before then, on January 15 to be precise, French DJ duo Cécile Togni and Tania Bruna-Rosso of Les Putafranges will release their collaboration with Maje. The only tailoring done here is at the waist, with a simple bow or bandline to do the trick. The boyfriend blazer and little tux shorts are a great transition into summer, and the simple bags will carry the necissary and then some for the comming slew of fashion interns. A great line for the bothersome days that are neither winter nor spring that can be easy incorperated with the rest of Maje's creations.
