Meet The Maximalists
Bold ideas and expressionist details for your home, wardrobe, and fragrance collection
By: Georgia GrahamQuiet luxury, remember her? In 2023, we couldn’t get enough of understated elegance and neutral tones, inspired by TV shows like 'Succession', whose ripple effect was felt across the fashion industry. This year, it seems we’re craving something a little more adventurous, tiptoeing away from essentialism and back towards a bolder, more expressive attitude. But bold doesn’t have to mean loud - below you’ll meet designers across fashion, home and beauty who are incorporating maximalism into their work in their own unique way.
Dries Van Noten
The Belgian designer surely needs no introduction. His penultimate season at the helm of his namesake brand (he announced his retirement last year, although his label will continue under the supervision of his long-serving design team) gave us more of the ‘Dries-ness’ we know and love. Such hallmarks include luxurious textures, rich, contrasting colourways, and prints that strike a perfect balance between elegant and eccentric.

D.S. & Durga
Maximalism is also a state of mind, one occupied by D.S. & Durga's founders, whose dramatic scents have a free-wheeling, bohemian quality. “Our scents are fragments of half-remembered myths and imaginary landscapes that invite exploration,” they say - taking inspiration from “robbing banks on horseback” (Cowboy Grass) and “the wild shrill of Indie rock coming through the college radio station in hot August heat” (Debaser).

&Klevering
Home is where the art is with &Klevering’s idiosyncratic designs. Recognisable for their love of wiggly details, the Amsterdam brand’s pieces manage to be simultaneously quirky and timeless. Like their neighbour, Belgium's Dries Van Noten, they're a longstanding figurehead of the maximalist movement - whilst Dries founded his label in 1986, &Klevering was born a few years later in 1992. These delicate coupe glasses with bead-like stems will turn any drink into a mixologist’s masterpiece.

Bonding over a shared love of vintage silhouettes and hand-painted prints, Rixo founders Henrietta and Orlagh started the brand in 2015 out of their university flat. Fast forward nearly 10 years, and Rixo has become beloved worldwide by wearers who appreciate their knack for elegant cuts and playful prints that stand out in a crowd.

Grainne Morton
People often confuse maximalism with scale - but things don’t have to be large to have an impact. In fact, they can be as delicate as Grainne Morton���s jewellery, where raindrops and moons hang from opalescent clouds, dangling like a galaxy of ideas from necklaces and earrings. “I have always had this innate feeling to non-conform,” she says. Like all our Liberty maximalists, this point of view results in pieces that are both artful and rebellious.
