'I'm in a summer state of mind'

Unique themes that draw inspiration from the nature form Liz Claiborne's new summer collection.

With monthly theme names like desert caravan and sandstone trail, light fabrics and rich colours are the fundamentals of the new collection. Lightweight cottons, cropped pants, blazers, dark blue denims and crocheted sweaters make a statement in the collection. Rich stripes are paired with solids and sophisticated plaids to achieve a light and refreshing look for the season.

Later in summer, sun kissed shades of antique gold and ginger create intricate paisleys paired with dots on lightweight skirts and tops.

MAF Fashion represents a natural progression in the development of the Majid Al Futtaim Group. With significant infrastructure already in place, MAF Fashion is building a successful fashion business by acquiring rights for prominent brands and developing their presence in the Middle East, Levant, and North Africa.

MAF Fashion owns and manages 80 free-standing stores including a number of department store concessions trading under the Liz Claiborne brand names of which Mexx is currently the most prominent.

Towards the end of 2006, MAF Fashion concluded a deal with one of the UK's fastest growing leisure wear retailers, Fat Face.
