Maje Fall Winter 2010 Womenswear

To all my female readers: Have you been coveting some of the most prominent looks seen on the Fall Winter 2010 collection runways? But 'troubled' by the exorbitant amounts required to acquire those key pieces...

Well, recently while browsing thru Net-a-porter, I found this cool Parisian label, Maje who does amazing pieces closely resembling some of the key runway looks by big name designers. Think Balmain's translucent bow-tie blouse, skinny gold jeans, navy pea coats and leopard overcoats... or Burberry Prorsum's aviatrix shearling jackets, military blazers and boots or Céline's furry skirts, tops and cool minimalist leather top... you name it, you got it.

Not to say Maje is not original. But designer, Judith Milgrom, sure knows what women wants for the season. She does inject her fair share of design sense, incorporating key trends into her collections.

Pricing wise, the brand is more expensive than your Zara and Topshop, but the styles is clearly more refined and Maje brand less mass produced. So will you buy into Maje or simply go for the cheaper Zara/ Topshop or splurge all the way for the true originals?

Clearly, power to the 'consumers to decide' is always welcoming!

I got a pair of skinny Maje camouflage jeans from Net-a-porter recently... and I love it. I have been searching for a men's version but the sizing is always too large and style too scruffy.
