Maje FW26 Summer Spirit

 To extend the spirit of "Summer in the City," Maje brings together the theatrical elegance of Sixties icons and the sun-drenched freedom of the Saint-Tropez coastline, striking a balance between unapologetic glamour and effortless ease. Cropped shirts, lightweight matching sets and structured silhouettes adorned with gold buttons evoke a diva-like sophistication reminiscent of Dalida, celebrating a femininity that is both refined and magnetic.   In contrast, halterneck dresses, bubble skirts inspired by Brigitte Bardot, graphic polka dots, vintage-inspired prints worthy of the Princesses of Monaco, open backs and airy volumes infuse the collection with radiant spontaneity, capturing the carefree allure of a beachside escape.
