Brandon Maxwell Resort 2024

Brandon Maxwell has embraced his minimalist aesthetic for the latest collection, focusing on streamlined designs that exude sexiness and luxury. While his clothes maintain a high level of opulence with predominantly Italian fabrics, he steers away from the notion of “quiet luxury” and instead embraces a sleek, aerodynamic sensibility.

Maxwell acknowledges the prevailing trend in fashion to create elaborate and attention-grabbing designs for the sake of social media appeal. However, he deliberately veers away from that approach, preferring simplicity and sophistication.

One way he achieves this is through a reduced color palette. Apart from two vibrant pops of color—a tomato-y orange knit tank dress and a longer, narrow tank style in yellow— the collection predominantly revolves around black and white tones, creating a uniform and intentional effect.

The black and white palette also serves practical purposes, allowing for easy mixing and matching of pieces. For instance, a thick-ribbed sweater in creamy white can effortlessly complement Maxwell’s jeans, which boast a shapely silhouette with a dropped yoke.

This season, the waist becomes a focal point of interest for Maxwell. Metal belts and glazed leather belts with molded curving shapes accentuate many of the looks, adding a touch of structure and definition.

Furthermore, a draped waistband enhances a long narrow skirt, featuring a high center slit, creating an alluring silhouette. For those seeking an extra dose of sexiness, a stretch jersey tank dress with peekaboo cut-outs along both sides provides a provocative option.

Brandon Maxwell’s minimalist approach in this collection embraces the essence of streamlined luxury. Through his carefully curated color palette, attention to waist details, and the inclusion of sexy yet sophisticated elements, Maxwell creates a collection that resonates with his distinct aesthetic and caters to clients seeking timeless elegance with a modern edge.
