Cape Town-based streetwear designer, Maylee's debut collection neutral yet sultry.
Maylee launched its brand last December, but this is the first full collection they have released to the public. What began as a small operation above Cape Town's favorite streetwear store is soon to be the next IT-girl line.
According to its website, "The brand and collection plays on the idea of mixing highs and lows, simple classic fits with high end luxurious fabrics." The range includes t-shirts done in luxurious fabrics, denim in refined cuts and cozy yet edgy hoodies.
Notable products include a sultry black bralette, and a pair of well cut white denim trousers. The neutral color palette of this collection makes it a universal hit, since all of its pieces can easily be mixed and matched for an individualized look.
