By Malene Birger Copenhagen Fall 2022

Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel every season, Maja Dixdotter takes an evolutionary approach to design at By Malene Birger, building on what came before. The creative director has made bohemian-infused minimalism the brand’s code, and the fall collection underlined her commitment to it. Textiles and textures are drivers for Dixdotter’s creativity and she chooses her materials with comfort in mind. Knitwear is an important category for her, and fall’s focus was on nubby knits. Fluffy shearling created a different kind of softness as did a somewhat bulky full-length “fur” that was an example, she said, of her maximalist approach to minimalism this season. Leather and tailoring provided structure and balance.
