The MaxTan SS 2012 Collection Redefines Traditional Silhouettes

— August 28, 2011 — Fashion
Jump into spring with the MaxTan SS 2012 collection, which is defined by basic colors and parachute-shaped silhouettes. The brand, which hails from Singapore, uses exaggerated draping, bold stripes and one-of-a-kind cuts and necklines to stand out on the runway and create these gorgeous sweater-gowns. The collection has an androgynous air to it, balancing a sense of soft femininity with masculine strength. The patterns, cuts and designs are playful and adventurous for the bolder fashionista looking to try something new.
