Spotted by designer Judith Milgrom to become her new muse, Vanessa Traina’s collaboration with Maje has taken a step further. The high-end women’s ready-to-wear brand has picked the model to help design its latest collection, which she will also be posing for. The 14-piece line has a minimalist and very nineties look, with black and white colours and cotton and silk fabrics. It is going to be exclusively distributed from March 24th at Barney’s department stores in New York, San Francisco and Beverly Hills. The French brand’s remaining points of sale will receive the collection later on.

This capsule collection made exclusively for the United States is a way of marking the brand’s entry into the American market. Belonging to the Sandro, Maje & Claudie Pierlot Group, Maje also plans to establish itself in Soho in the months to come.
