Brandon Maxwell RESORT 2025

He worked with the knitwear expert Ryan Roche on this season’s knits, which range from matching clingy ribbed top and skirt sets to chunky marinière striped polo necks, not pictured in the lookbook but in evidence in the showroom.

He also has some terrific outerwear in the vein of American sportswear greats Ralph Lauren and Michael Kors, including a classic peacoat and cropped gabardine trench, and a more extroverted cotton silk coat with a crinkly metallic finish. If and when those designers start thinking about succession plans, Maxwell should be in contention.
