Collectively designers, both high and low, have been fixated on pared-down basics and neutrals for what seems like forever. White button-downs can be had everywhere at every price. Perhaps that's why Maje's new spring collection, full of unexpected silhouettes, fabrics and colors, excites me. Take, for example, the excellent metallic leather pants, above. They're both a statement maker and a staple! Then there's the Chanel-spirited belted cardigan, Miu Mia-like rhinestone-studded jean jacket, and the super cool studded sandals that go with everything!
