Maya Hansen - MAYA HANSEN

15 June 2016

Half Argentinian and half Danish, Maya Hansen was born and raised in Spain. In 2002, she graduated with honors in Fashion Design from the prestigious Centro Superior de Diseño de Moda in Madrid.

With her innate sense of aesthetics and a talent for drawing, fashion design, pattern making and sewing, Maya initially made her debut by creating collections for others – both brands and artists – but as of 2006, after two years of development, she officially launched her eponymous label: a ready-to-wear line that is both avant-garde and structured with her main emphasis on the corset – the collection’s centerpiece – evoking a return to the basics of women’s fashion. With her unique vision for women’s clothing, charged with a nouvelle elegance, transforming and enhancing the silhouette, Maya seduced her public and immediately succeeded in making a name for herself.

Thanks to her refined work and styles, together with carefully selected fabrics, she manages to make each of her creations a “one of a kind” piece. From the beginning, she has won prizes as a young talent for collaborations with companies and artists – including Lady Gaga! – and above all, for the runway. After initially getting herself noticed at Fashion Week in Valencia, she is now, and has been for several seasons, one of the most anticipated fashion designers on the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week catwalks in Madrid. Although Maya Hansen’s ready-to-wear collections have always been heavily influenced by the world of underwear, the A/W 2015/16 collection marks the arrival of her first collection dedicated to lingerie, designed for the woman who is delicate, yet sophisticated and demanding.

Through the brand’s motto of enhancing the female body, her couture pieces are brought to life through a surge of Chantilly lace in a palette of black, white and soft pink, teamed with satin and neoprene fabrics, punctuated with brass and steel finishes. Prices range from 400 to 800 euros, depending on the style. Maya Hansen ready-to-wear pieces are already sold in Spain, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, the UK, Lebanon, Dubai, Kuwait, Japan, and Brazil and in Canada and the United States…and we hope her lingerie collection soon shares the same success!
