"Maggy Schultz may only be 24 years old, but the young designer is already making waves with her very own line, Maggy Frances.\n\n \"I try to make my collection as relatable as possible and create something for everyone,\" says Schultz. \"The clothes are elegant, comfortable, and easy. They're really made to be worn.\" Composed of timeless basics (the go-to party dress, the perfect mini, and a flawlessly tailored blazer) in an array of playful prints, the collection is intended to be mid and matched to fit each individual wearer's style.\n\n And for Schultz, fashion runs in the family. \"Both my parents worked in fashion, so I grew up in the industry and had an interest and familiarity with it from a really young age,\" Schultz explains. But that doesn't mean she hasn't worked to earn her industry cred. \"I interned and did freelance work for several stylists and magazines. My first job was assisting Amanda Ross. She was doing everything from magazine shoots to film and TV costume design to runway and celebrity styling, so that was an incredible way for me to get my footing and learn quickly.\"\n\n Frustrated with the contemporary clothing market's ultra-trendy pieces, Schultz decided to start designing her own. \"I tend to prefer classic silhouettes and proportions, but I like to play with print and color,\" says the designer. \"I also don't shy away from a higher hemline!\" It's no surprise that her clothes are a reflection of the closet staples she always reached for.\n\n That's not to say it's been easy. \"The whole enterprise has been extremely challenging!\" she admits. \"In particular, learning to manage all the different moving parts is a struggle that I doubt will ever get much easier. But those challenges make it all very exciting.\" Her favorite part? Seeing a collection come together. \"To see clothes styled as complete looks on different girls and in an environment outside the design studio is probably the most exciting moment for me each season!\"\n\n Drawing inspiration from Montauk surf culture, 1930s wallpaper designs, and early 20th century prints of sea creatures by biologist Ernst Haeckel, her spring offerings are full of perfectly put-together summer staples. The collection's cute title? \"Posh Surfer Babe\".\n\n Click through to see exclusive images from the Maggy Frances spring collection, which launches today on MaggyFrances.com."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
