Black in Brandon Maxwell

Maxwell, who launched his namesake collection during New York Fashion Week in September 2015 is releasing his first brand ad campaign for his Fall Winter 2016 collection. He shot the campaign himself at the Top of the Standard in Manhattan, New York.

Maxwell described the shoot as a personal highlight in his career and full circle experience in that it relates back to his roots when he would drape clothing on his friends and then photograph them for his own archives, before sharpening his skills as he studied photography in university.

To accompany the print campaign, Maxwell produced a themed video starring this same group of strong and inspiring models against a soundtrack of voicemail messages left by his family following the FW16 show. The short clip is deeply personal as it captures Maxwell’s strong bond to his family and his work.

 Brandon Maxwell's new clothes are black and white. The black satin wings remind Intelligent Luxury's Stephanie of the stellar Caribbean costumes during Carnival.  I am watching, writing and waiting for sponsors!  

The campaign as well as the video will also be featured on:   www.BrandonMaxwellStudio.com.
