An essential piece of the wardrobe, women’s denim is reinvented this season through a variety of materials and silhouettes. Whether worn as a total denim look or in touches, it moves beyond its purely casual register to blend with the softness of knitwear, the fluidity of silk, or even the volume of faux fur.
At MAX&MOI, it complements a free and contemporary look, where contrasts in textures and signature details naturally bring sophistication to the silhouette.
Denim, the essential piece of the casual-chic wardrobe
Timeless and easy to wear, denim moves through the seasons without ever losing its modernity. This autumn, it becomes the common thread of a city wardrobe that plays with volumes, layering and materials.
The BELLE flare jeans, punctuated by the MAX&MOI monogram embroidered all-over, are one of the signature pieces of the Autumn-Winter wardrobe. Paired with the GIORNA wool and cashmere poncho, enhanced with contrasting leather bands and golden studs, it reveals a silhouette that is both relaxed and sophisticated.
How to combine denim and knitwear this autumn?
Denim and knitwear form one of the must-have duos of autumn. The structure of denim responds to the softness of knitwear; its casual character to the softness of cashmere. The contrast is therefore not only found in the materials: it can also be seen in the volumes, textures and lines of the silhouette.
At MAX&MOI, this encounter inspires hybrid pieces that reinterpret the essentials of the women’s wardrobe. Our VALEN jacket thus revisits the bomber in a knitwear and denim version, warmed by a Furever faux fur collar. The cut retains the sporty and relaxed look of the bomber, while the blend of wool and cashmere and the faux fur soften its utilitarian spirit.
With the VANCOUVER jacket, the interplay of materials takes on a graphic dimension. Denim panels alternate with wool and cashmere knit in a patchwork of blue and ecru. Paired with the JUDE long cashmere and wool skirt, it extends this play on contrasts: the skirt’s clean, straight silhouette balances the jacket’s graphic construction, creating beautifully considered proportions. A sophisticated take on the classic casual denim jacket.
But the combination works just as well in its most essential version: jeans and a cashmere sweater. With the BELLE flare jeans, a sweater or cashmere poncho with clean lines is enough to create an effortless and relaxed silhouette. To make it more sophisticated, a raccoon knit with silky fur offers a unique airy volume, generous loft and a more precious texture: the jeans retain their spontaneity, while the softness of the knitwear instantly elevates the look.
Denim and silk: the art of playing with contrasting materials
At MAX&MOI, denim and silk are worn in contrast: two materials with opposing characters that, once brought together, naturally find their balance. The structure of one meets the fluidity of the other, the casual engages with the sophisticated. From this contrast comes a strong and distinctive silhouette.
With the VANCOUVER jacket, the patchwork of denim and knitwear meets the lightness of the JOLINE silk skirt, enhanced with delicate lace panels. The textures, volumes and transparencies respond to one another: the skirt softens the casual spirit of the jacket, while the latter brings a contemporary touch to a classic office silhouette, for a decidedly modern everyday look.
The combination can also be worn in a more refined style. Worn with the BELLE denim flare jeans, the LUMAX oversized silk shirt brings movement and lightness to the jeans. A simple way to make denim more chic, by focusing on the nobility of the materials rather than on layering.
How to embrace the total denim look this autumn?
Wearing denim as a total look does not necessarily mean adopting a uniform silhouette. On the contrary, the real appeal lies in playing with shades, textures and proportions. For this Autumn-Winter, MAX&MOI brings sky blue denim to life around the BELLE flare jeans, whose all-over embroidered monogram becomes the common thread of silhouettes where jeans meet softer and enveloping materials.
As temperatures begin to drop, Furever faux fur brings volume and softness to denim, while contrasting with its more structured appearance. A combination of materials that helps warm up the total look and give it more character.
With VINCIE, faux fur dominates the silhouette while denim returns in touches on the shirt collar, cuffs and bottom of the jacket. Paired with BELLE, it allows you to adopt the total denim look in a more subtle way: the color creates continuity, while the alternation of materials breaks up the uniformity.
With the VERNON women’s denim jacket and the GOYA reversible knitwear and denim gilet, the statement is more pronounced. Denim and Furever coexist directly within the same piece, multiplying the contrasts of textures. Worn with BELLE, these faux fur and denim jackets extend the sky blue of the jeans while introducing the volume and softness of faux fur.
The secret to a successful total denim look? Create continuity without seeking uniformity, by varying the textures, volumes and the way denim is introduced into the silhouette.
MAX&MOI denim with complete freedom
This autumn, denim breaks free from the rules. As a total look or in touches, it blends with signature knitwear, meets the fluidity of silk and is warmed by the touch of faux fur.
More than an everyday essential, denim becomes the starting point for a wardrobe where materials, volumes and details respond to one another. A new way to wear casual chic, with freedom and sophistication.
I like to pair denim with unexpected materials, giving it a new expression while preserving its ease of everyday wear.
Emma Lederer, MAX&MOI Artistic Director
Emma Lederer has a unique perspective on denim: she sees it as a familiar material that she likes to transform, enrich and contrast with the Maison’s signature materials. Under her direction, denim becomes a true field of experimentation: worked in patchwork, embroidered with the Maison’s monogram or combined with knitwear or faux fur, it gives rise to creations that are as easy to wear as they are aesthetically striking.

How to pair denim and knitwear?
Denim and knitwear naturally complement each other: the structure of denim contrasts with the suppleness and softness of knitwear. For a casual silhouette, simply pair jeans with a cashmere sweater. For a more defined look, opt for more enveloping raccoon knitwear or hybrid pieces directly combining denim and knitwear, such as the VALEN and VANCOUVER jackets.
How to wear denim with faux fur?
A faux fur jacket worn with jeans is a simple way to warm up and add sophistication to denim as the first cold weather arrives. The combination can also be played out within a single piece, with a two-material bomber in denim and Furever, which contrasts the structure of denim with the softness and volume of faux fur. At MAX&MOI, VERNON, VINCIE and GOYA explore these material combinations to give more character to autumn silhouettes.
How to make a denim outfit more chic?
A silk shirt brings fluidity and elegance to jeans, precious cashmere or raccoon knitwear softens their look, while faux fur adds further sophistication. The Maison signature details — embroidered monograms, contrasting panels or refined finishes — also help make denim more chic.
How to care for and wash denim jeans?
To preserve the color, cut and details of your denim jeans, space out washes and turn them inside out before cleaning them, always following the care instructions on their label.
For a crafted model such as the BELLE jeans, whose denim is punctuated by the MAX&MOI monogram embroidered all-over, particular care also helps preserve its details season after season.
How to care for a two-material piece in denim and knitwear or denim and faux fur?
A jacket combining denim and knitwear or denim and faux fur requires particular care, as each material has its own care requirements. To preserve the softness of the knitwear or Furever, the shape of the denim and the different panels, always refer to the care instructions specific to the piece and avoid applying the care habits of classic jeans to a two-material jacket.
