Maje Spring/Summer 2017 Collection

A long and distant voyage. A never-ending desert. Ochre and saffron-coloured earth. From Maghreb to the Sahara and Tanzania, the SS17 Maje woman undertakes a solitary journey through the African continent. Over the weeks, she discovers a nature that is sometimes scorched by the sun and sometimes lush ; she develops a new link to her body and to her clothes that is intensely carnal and instinctive.

Her wardrobe is both feminine and adventurous ; similarly to Marie Schneider in Antonioni’s The Passenger, she appeals to a nomadic imagination, bohemian yet clearly urban.

Shades of faded lavender-blue, siena and vermilion red bring out flowing and oversized, discreetely structured pieces. Wild flowers have grown on maxi skirts. In the day time, she wears a neo-djellaba redesigned as a short denim tunic dress. At night time, she chooses long pieces, overlays of frills or flowing lace. Tone-on-tone details add a graphic twist while delicately embroidered beads bring a touch of romanticism.

Around her neck, delicate charms are always there for good luck. Such is Maje’s SS17 wardrobe : a natural, sensual and instinctive relationship to femininity.

MAJE UNDER THE SIGN OF THE STARS
This summer, Maje promises to cover you with stars with a refined and solar collection of 12 medals, one for each of the astrological signs of the zodiac.

Each sign is a unique design, combining carefully placed Swarovski colored stones and golden brass with rosé finishing, specially devised for Maje.

Their matt touch with subtle, delicate brilliance, serrated edge, hammer effect and discreet, art deco M engraved signature, the symbol of the Designer House for several seasons, make these medals the essential accessory to wear alone or in combination, punctuating the silhouette with poetic, and female accents, so Maje.

Necklace with astrological sign of the zodiac medal in brass inlaid with Swarovski stones $70

Available from the end of November in the network of Maje stores and on maje.com
