Los Angeles-based label Maisie Wilen as led by Maisie Schloss showed its inaugural collection in Los Angeles yesterday (June 6, 2019) at the Night Gallery. Bright and breezy, the pre-spring 2020 collection of separates is a celebration of youth, on-the-go femininity.
Educated at Parsons and a former Yeezy womenswear designer, Schloss is the first recipient of a grant via Kanye West‘s newly-formed incubator program to support up-and-coming talent.
In an exchange with Vogue about the opportunity, Schloss stated, “Yeezy is a really special environment for growing and developing a career. When I started I was just an assistant, but the highly creative and unconventional atmosphere allowed for me to have visibility and input in a wide variety of projects. Kanye very generously offered to support me; he truly cares about sharing resources, creating opportunities for creatives to grow and be recognized.”
Priced from $100-$950, the label has plans to present a full, 85-piece collection in Paris some time in June.
