Brandon Maxwell has been a longtime collaborator with Lady Gaga and can be attributed to some of her most memorable red carpet and award show outfits, including the black ballgown she wore to perform “Shallow” with Bradley Cooper at the 2019 Oscars and her epic Met Gala transformation from the same year. Now, the former Project Runway judge has traded celebrity dressing for affordable fashion as he just dropped a new summer collection for Walmart.
Maxwell is bringing his eye for high fashion to Walmart, and creating affordable, everyday pieces that you can wear to the office or brunch. The designer was announced as creative director for two of Walmart’s in-house apparel brands, Free Assembly and Scoop, in 2021, he’s back with new pieces for summer. What that means: you can watch incorporate his luxury taste into your own summer wardrobe — minus having to spend hundreds of dollars on a single item.
Prices for the Scoop summer collection range from $18-$75 and feature a range of light and airy dresses as well as classic jackets and statement making pants that’ll most likely be at the top of your rotation.
Below, you can stock up on some of ShopBillboard‘s favorite picks from the latest drop.
Scoop Cutout Poplin Dress
Just like a little black dress, a mini white style is a staple for your wardrobe. This version is just $30 and comes with delicate puffy sleeves and cutout sides that’ll help keep you cool without sacrificing trendiness.
Scoop Pleated Handkerchief Hem Dress
This handkerchief dress is the definition of twirl-worthy, featuring a billowy skirt with an uneven hem and pleated details. The material is made from 100% polyester for a softer feel and is complete with a belted waist you can adjust to your liking.
Scoop Stripe Mini Sweater Dress
Florals aren’t the only defining feature of a summer dress — so are bright colors. This striped style is anything but subtle, as it’s designed with shades of red, pink and white. In terms of material, you can expect all-day comfort thanks to its use of polyester and nylon that’s both stretchy and smooth.
Scoop Ruched Halter Dress
Consider this halter dress your go-to look for all summer events, whether it’s rooftop happy hour or you’re attending your friend’s wedding. The look features a tan base with splashes of blue and ruched detailing to give it a more dressy appearance. For more casual outings, you can pair it with a denim jacket for a more laid-back yet elegant look.
Scoop Faux Leather Moto Jacket
Moto jackets never seem to go out of style and if you’re looking for a quick layering piece that’ll also elevate your outfit, then try this faux leather version on for size. It comes with folded lapels and a zip-closure corner pocket for added trendiness. You can also pair it with practically anything including jeans, trousers and dresses.
Wide Leg Satin Pants
For under $25, you can bring home these floral pants featuring a silky material that’ll be almost too soft to take off. The pair also come complete with an elastic waistband for added comfort while the drawstring allows you to adjust the waist’s tightness to your liking.
Scoop Patch Pocket Denim Midi Skirt
Ditch the mini skirt for this midi denim version that comes with a double-button closure and two large patch pockets on the front. The front is also designed with a slit for easier movement and ventilation.
Scoop Tailored Linen Vest
This tailored linen vest is oozing chicness with a smooth construction and sophisticated pinstripe pattern. The material is lightweight and breathable to help keep you cool and comfortable on hot days.
With the Scoop collection, Maxwell wanted to infuse “play and an easy lightness to the clothes,” he said in a press release. The clothing brand also aims to bring a trendiness that is still timeless, which can be seen through its vibrant shades and bold prints.
