Army Surplus is in - Max Winter 2013

 

 

This Winter Max introduces, Army Surplus, a platoon of classic military chic camouflaging as a retrospective on forties world war glamour and Horses & Hounds, an eclectic mix of affluence and eccentricity from the grand Edwardians brought up to date with the verve of the present.

No medals to be seen in Army Surplus, just attention to detail with a contemporary twist. Stud detail is key and can be found on the Allover Studded Sweater ($119), Stud Detail Shirt ($119), Star Stud Foil Tee ($49), Studded Zip Hood Cardi ($159) and Studded Leather Gloves ($59).
