MAÉST was founded in spring 2020 by the sisters Marketa and Stefanie Schroll.
The collections show a fairytale beauty, which is still vivid in the memory. Every design is an invitation for women to express their femininity and individuality but as well as for the little fashionistas. With the focus on strong silhouettes and opulent details, each piece is made in traditional tailoring in Germany.
Creative Director Marketa Schroll was born near Prague, Czech Republic, and grew up in Munich, Germany. She developed a deep sense for an aesthetic that combines the spirit of the time with the poetic codes of different cultures. The designs of MAÉST are deeply rooted in her second home and are reminiscent of Czech fairy tales and folklore. Voluminous shapes in historical costumes, colors of flowers, and art from the Art Nouveau era are considered as her essential inspiration.
Marketa Schroll’s individual signature, her passion for details, bold colors, and prints are recognizable in every MAÉST design. The collections are a selection of garments that combine art and fashion. In our communicative age, MAÉST designs stand for a visual expression of personality. As a Munich based fashion label, Marketa Schroll also produces hand-embroidered unique “Dirndl” on request. Her fashion is intended to make women feel strong, spirited, and individual. It is for women who play with femininity and sophistication and enjoy life in every way.
Following this philosophy, every piece is manufactured in Germany in the highest quality and with social sustainability. Materials such as silk, jacquard, or cotton are sourced from Italy and provided with specially drawn prints or hand embroidery. Each collection is exclusive and limited. The idea is to create a unique fashion that can be passed on to the next generation as vintage pieces. Self-confidence. Individuality. Femininity. MAÉST celebrates the maximum expression of fashion and its power behind it.
We sat down with Marketa Schroll, one of the Founders of MAÉST to ask her a few questions about her journey into fashion. What she had to say is sure to enlighten and inspire you. Read our interview below.
Q. Marketa, what’s your story? Why did you choose to dedicate your life to fashion and design?
A. The love of fashion is innate in me. Already as a child I played at my grandma’s whole wardrobe and tried on every piece of fashion and dressed my younger sister. Afterwards the whole family sat in the living room and we presented our choice of clothes. My Czech grandmother was a seamstress, so I experienced the process of making clothes from a very young age. I simply love to express myself in the artistic form of clothing and to process my emotions and ideas in it. Fashion for me is art and also has a soul, it must evoke emotions otherwise it is lifeless for me and I missed my goal.
Q. How do you get inspired?
A. I developed a deep sense for an aesthetic that combines the spirit of the time with the poetic codes of different cultures. The designs of MAÉST are deeply rooted in my second home and are reminiscent of Czech fairy tales and folklore. Voluminous shapes in historical costumes, colors of flowers and art from the Art Nouveau era are considered as my essential inspiration.
Q. What is your signature of the first collection?
A. My passion for details, bold colors and prints are recognizable in every MAÉST design. The collections are a selection of garments that combine art and fashion. In our communicative age, MAÉST designs stand for a visual expression of personality. As a Munich based fashion label, we’re also produces hand-embroidered unique “Dirndl” on request.
The idea is to create unique fashion that can be passed on to the next generation as vintage pieces. However, my priority is to combine my creative and interdisciplinary visions for MAÉST.
