BRANDON MAXWELL SS21 RUNWAY SHOW
WHILE THIS YEAR HAS BEEN CHALLENGING, IT HAS ALSO BEEN CLEANSING AND CLARIFYING. IN MANY WAYS, THE TIME AND DISTANCE AWAY FROM MY USUAL CREATION PROCESS TRANSPORTED ME BACK TO MY VERY FIRST DAYS OF DESIGN. THE QUIET TIMES AWAY FROM MY STUDIO LEFT ME NO OTHER CHOICE THAN TO GO BACK TO THE BASICS AND RETURN TO MAKING THINGS ON A SMALLER SCALE, WITH A MORE INTIMATE GROUP, AND FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF DOING SO BECAUSE I FELT IT DEEP IN MY HEART.
THE COLLECTION REFLECTS THE EMOTIONAL AND CREATIVE JOURNEY MY TEAM AND I HAVE BEEN ON DURING THIS TIME. IT’S A REPRESENTATION OF OUR PATH FROM DARK TO LIGHT. WE ARE GRATEFUL TO BE JOINING YOU NOW WITH A RENEWED PURPOSE AND REALITY. I TRULY HOPE YOU CAN FEEL THAT IN OUR FINAL PRODUCT AND SHOW.
THIS SEASON IS ALL ABOUT THE COMFORT AND EASE OF DRESSING UP; AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE EXQUISITELY DRESSED WITHOUT CONSTRAINTS OR FUSS.
BRANDON MAXWELL CONTINUES HIS EXPLORATION OF COLOR THROUGH BOLD NEON YELLOWS, GRASS GREENS AND CALMING BLUE GREYS. THESE ENERGETIC HUES INFUSE A SENSE OF JOY, OPTIMISIM AND HOPE WHICH REFLECT BRANDON’S CURRENT DESIGN ETHOS. MOIRE FAILLE GOWN PANTS AND PARKA JACKETS pr A MOMENT OF PRACTICAL GLAMOUR WHILE PLEATED CHIFFON SKIRTS AND DRESSES BRING IN FEMININITY AND GRACE.
LUXURY BONDED JERSEY NEOPRENE OFFERS A RELAXED SENSIBILITY TO DRAPED WAIST PINTUCK TROUSERS, RACERBACK SHEATH DRESSES, BRALETTES AND A ONE SHOULDER TOP WITH A DRAPED SASH.
SPORTY DETAILS CAN BE SEEN THROUGHOUT THE COLLECTION IN RIBBED KNIT TRIMS, REMOVABLE HOODS, ACRYLIC FANNY PACKS AND BUNGEE DRAWSTRINGS.
