L.A. based designer John Ward has revived the idea of luxe sportswear with his new line, Maggie Ward. Taking a fresh, updated approach to modern basics, his Fall 2009 collection features elegant body-hugging leggings, tanks, thin knit sweaters and bodysuits that you probably wouldn’t want to actually do any real physical activity in. Using non-traditional materials such as artesian Japanese fabrics and washable stretch leather and velvet, these pieces only look casual yet are nonetheless comfortable. In addition to opulent details, Ward’s penchant for architecture is evident throughout the collection with the use of geometric patterns and semi-structural designs. From partying to shopping to just plain chillin’, Ward’s blend of simplicity and luxury makes this label a truly transitional staple.
