A cozy denim debut
The penthouse at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood was the setting this month for the official launch of a nine-piece, deniminspired capsule collection from French brand Maje.
Gillian Jacobs (“Community” and “Love”) and Moran Atias (“Tyrant” and “24: Legacy”) were among guests at the cozy alfresco lunch, mingling around a specially-built, denim-blue wooden vehicle modeled after a vintage Renault. Atias was in a slender, retro-inspired sleeveless bell-bottomed jumpsuit with zipper from the brand (which is pronounced “mahj”), while Jacobs wore a two-toned cropped jacket.
Judith Milgrom, founder and artistic director of the 20-year-old, Paris-based womenswear and accessories brand, was inspired by shades of the sky and sea for the Maje collection, interspersed with white or pallid greens and reds. Milgrom likes to play with volume and proportion. So a breezy shirt dress has oversized pockets, A-line skirts taper out generously mid-calf and a voluminous jacket was inspired by the roomy lines of a kimono.
The collection, which starts at $190, is available at Maje stores in Beverly Hills, the Beverly Center and South Coast Plaza as well as at Bloomingdale’s and online. us.maje.com
