To the MAX!

The maxi dress skirt is huge for Spring, carrying on from its popularity in fall. Inspiration for this look comes from the bohemian maxi dresses from the 60's and 70's, the staple garment of every hippie girl. It has transformed to a modern skirt version.  Sometimes extremely minimal, or detailed with a different print to make it look current and fresh. This look is not as easy to pull of as some of the others and the wearer certainly must have a flair for fashion, but if you can pull it off it makes any outfit look chic!  The long skirt has been seen in all fabrics and prints, from grey jersey to silk and chiffon.  To make this look complete, I suggest pairing it with chunky heels. We hope to see you ladies getting MAXXY this spring and summer!


Inspiration: 1967 hippie style. Long, floral maxi skirts were all the rage in the 60's and 70''s.
