In my experience, every woman, no matter how greige, has an inner drama queen waiting to make her debut. And right now, top designers are providing plenty of ways to take the stage in style.
Fashion bibles have proclaimed the end of quiet luxury and the arrival of maxxing in all its forms, from printmaxxing to collarmaxxing to whimsymaxxing. Where quiet luxury preached that less is more, a new generation of style-savvy trendsetters has spoken: more is more, and then some.
"From printmaxxing to fringe, designers made a case for the joy of getting dressed.”
— Elle
"‘Printmaxxing’ is the new fashion trend replacing quiet luxury...It’s not just wearing print, but how you wear print that matters...(hence the “maxxing”), whether it’s clashing two contrasting patterns together or choosing a garment so eye-catching that it creates a visual cacophony by itself."
— Harper’s Bazaar
"The latest iteration is called whimsy-maxxing, and it’s a very unserious antidote to coastal grandma, stealth wealth and every other trend that told us to have restraint.”
— PureWow
"Printmaxxing: Why Wear One Print When You Can Wear Them All?"
— Vogue
IMO, the quiet luxury of stealth wealth isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, but top fashion houses—Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Moschino, Gaultier, Gucci and others—are turning up the volume for those who love their luxury louder.
So, for all my sewing friends ready to debut their inner drama queen, I’m happy to offer a sale on a special edit of high-drama prints to stack your stash with plenty of possibilities. Below are some favorites. You’ll find more on sale now in the
