Well, here
is a case where it doesn’t matter what the inspiration is or what the
background blah blah is as this is a
collection that is slick, chic, hot and even sexy at times. This is a no
apologies, no excuses collection designed for men, men who know they are men
and not for those who have gender identity issues.

The
collection is polished, sharp, grown up and not in the least bit dated. Maier
tweaks the classics in a very au courant way; plaids take center stage in a
most engaging way. Again, even the casting suggests grown up... not old... grown
up... men who look like they belong in these clothes, the swagger factor is high
with fedoras rakishly tilted and scarves
skillfully tossed but not any of it is over the top.

The only
criticism I have is there are few pieces that look like that crinkled patent
leather of the 60s and 70s. I’m reasonably sure there is nothing cheap about
those pieces nor made of any petroleum based products. For me this is is Maier
at his best... Minimal in his way and classic in his way... all with a twist
whether in fabrication, silhouette or even a pocket placement.
