The brain child of Rosemary Moore, graduate of the Royal College of Art. A nylon and elastane fabric composition that's so adaptable that if made into a swimsuit, it can fit 7 sizes in one.
In the late 80s, MAXXAM took the fashion world by storm as it was the era of body-conscious clothing.
It's a multipurpose fabric that can be used for swimwear, daily wear and activewear, made in a variety of fibre compositions.
It's finished tubular to produce a seamless fabric that supports the body with maximum comfort.
In 2014 MAXXAM made a come back into the limelight, however it has been in production for nearly 40 years. It’s now worn by the new generation or children of the mothers who wore it in the 80s....
Julia Roberts can be remembered wearing it in Pretty Woman. Nowadays, it's celebrities like the Kardashian family and Lady Gaga who can be seen on Instagram popularising it.
