The designer and longtime favorite of Blake Lively, Tiffany Haddish and other A-list actresses presented his vision for a pandemic-free future Friday night at New York Fashion Week: 'They were ready for some joy.'
Perhaps that’s why Maxwell wanted to show his Spring 2022 collection in a simple white-box space; he found it in a studio on an unassuming block in Brooklyn, far from the borough’s waterfront and the venues with higher hip quotients, which suited the designer just fine. “I wanted a good frame for the clothes,” he explained.
Within that structure, Maxwell rolled out a presentation that was teeming with bright colors, metallic sparkle and, most unusually for him, a variety of bold prints, from trippy psychedelic stripes and mushroom prints to the pastel-hued ginghams that have quickly become among the season’s biggest trends.“I normally start every collection with a merchandising list of what I need to achieve, and this time I just thought, I don’t want to see one,” Maxwell said.
That thought process translated to pieces like a shimmering turquoise trench coat, silver and gold pleated skirts and dresses that moved beautifully on the runway, luxe knits that embraced curves and, as perhaps the most significant departure for Maxwell, a focus on separates, with nary a gown in sight from this designer who is so adept at red-carpet looks. Fold in Maxwell’s size-inclusive approach to his model casting, and the show reflected his desire to highlight women in the real world.
How might women in the real world ultimately embrace these clothes? Minutes after his show had debuted, Maxwell said he wasn’t quite ready to ponder that question. “I’m not sure how I feel about the experience yet, because I’ve been so deeply in the clothes,” he noted. “I can say that the women in my office always inform a lot of the collection; based on what I saw from a lot of them, they were ready for some joy.
